Exceptionalities

Getting Started • Keyword Search

Need help? A keyword search for exceptionalities, or disability topics such as autism, sign language, or ADHD, in the library catalog is a great way to get started. When searching for children's books, begin by modifying initial search results to a location of MAIN Juvenile. It is possible to further sort results by date (newest first) or sort by title (alphabetical).
