The Library offers reading on most disabilities. The aim is to provide non-medical books which describe disabilities in easy to understand language. Copies of journals and newsletters dealing with the majority of disabilities are received by DIRC from hundreds of organisations in Australia and overseas. This service is provided on a subscription basis. Australian and overseas articles on current disability issues are listed.
Subscribers can request photocopies of particular articles.
