Library Resources for the Blind and Physically Handicapped: A Directory with FY 1993 Statistics on Readership, Circulation, Budget, Staff, and Collections.
Library of Congress, Washington, DC. National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped.
The first part of this National Library Service (NLS) for the Blind and Physically Handicapped directory lists NLS network libraries and machine-lending agencies, arranged alphabetically by state. The information for each library includes its address, telephone number, librarian, hours of operation, book collection, assistive devices, special services, and publications. Other library resources at the national level are listed in the second part of the directory, arranged alphabetically by the name of the organization. Each entry indicates address, telephone number, contact person, eligibility requirements, book collection, subject coverage, reading levels, and distribution policy. Two appendices give NLS network library statistics for FY 1993 (October-September) on readership and circulation divided by medium (recorded disc, braille, and recorded cassette) and on budget, staff, and collections.
