Narrative

The mission of the Samuel P. Hayes Research Library is to maintain a comprehensive collection, both current and historical, on the nonmedical aspects of visual impairment, blindness, deafblindness, and multiple disabilities which include visual impairment. The Research Library collects books, journals, articles, dissertations, conference reports, DVDs, internet-based information, pamphlets, and clippings, all of which are cataloged in the library's in-house database. The Research Library is open to the public, although its materials circulate only to staff of the Perkins School for the Blind. The Research Library provides telephone reference and limited research assistance at no charge. Some material may be requested through interlibrary loan.
