Cheeseman, Margaret And Others Hearing Impairments Information Sources Libraries Library Guides Library Services Mental Retardation Needs Physical Disabilities Visual Impairments A general discussion of handicapping conditions includes how librarians should be aware but not overwhelmed by such conditions, and how librarians can accommodate people with handicaps through adequate physical facilities and specialized attention.
