Each chapter covers multiple formats, but the overall processes used to select and evaluate those materials is essentially the same. Where appropriate, the author details differences due to the type of library - public libraries, school media centers, and so forth. The author also examines legal issues, not just of copyright and licensing, but also of diversity, disability, and special needs issues. -- Adapted from preface.

- Including families of children with special needs : a how-to-do-it manual for librarians / by Banks, Carrie Scott,author.(CARDINAL)404346; Feinberg, Sandra,1946-author.(CARDINAL)208636;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 291-303) and index.What's inclusion all about? -- What does the law say? -- Developmentally appropriate library services -- Resource-based practice and inclusion -- Multiple intelligences and universal design -- Assessing your staff and library -- Staff training -- Community involvement -- Designing library services for all children -- Assistive and adaptive technology -- Playing and learning : in the library and at home -- Resource centers for children, families, and other professionals -- Electronic resources.Whether you work in a public, school, or hospital library, some of your young patrons have disabilities. Ramps, adaptive technology, and Braille books lay only the physical basis for including them into the library. Segregating them because of their disabilities is detrimental to their development, and to society as a whole. Serving them, and their families, involves educating yourself on the issues they face on a daily basis.

- The thud / by Ross, Mikaël,1984-author,illustrator.; Knight, Nika,translator.(CARDINAL)415885; Fantagraphics Books,publisher.(CARDINAL)432868;
"When Noel's mother has a stroke, his world is turned upside down. Especially when a man comes, who tells Noel that he can't stay in the only home he's ever known. He has to move from his apartment and his city to some kind of care facility, in a town he's never heard of. For the first time, Noel is on his own. Who can he trust? Who can he love? There is a village in Germany called Neuerkerode that is largely populated and run by people with developmental disabilities -- the local restaurant, the local bar, the local supermarket. It's a beautiful, even incredible place -- and it's where The Thud takes place. In 2016, cartoonist Mikael Ross began visiting Neuerkerode. Over the course of two years, Ross learned about the people who live there and listened to their stories. As Neuerkerode Protestant Foundation Director Rudiger Becker has stated, Out of this has arisen a powerful piece of literature that depicts, with a rarely seen intensity and authenticity, the lives of people with intellectual disabilities. Told from Noel's perspective with humor and empathy, The Thud offers a rare window into the life of a boy living with developmental disabilities. In doing so, Ross has crafted an enchanting story that helps us understand the often misunderstood."--Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
