This handbook was developed for hearing impaired students at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf located at Rochester Institute of Technology. An illustrated guide to the main library on campus, it is language-appropriate for deaf students in a postsecondary education program, and may be used independently or in conjunction with formal instruction. A general introduction to library services is given, particularly in the areas of circulation, reference, and reserve. The guide explains how to find books using the library card and microfiche catalogs and Library of Congress call numbers. Basic information is presented on the location of articles from magazines, journals, and newspapers using indexes to the periodical literature. Goals, objectives, and self-evaluation quizzes with answers are provided for student use. The handbook concludes with a glossary of terms, a list providing information on other local resource centers, and a brief bibliography. (ESR)
