D: CDLP REFERENCE LIBRARY

The Centre of Disability Law and Policy has its own growing Reference Library. The document below is intended to facilitate reference by anyone needing to use our library for reference or research. Last updated in January 2012.

The Library has been catalogued in two ways to make it easier to search. Both catalogues are availble below.

Using CDLP Library
 
Catalogued by Jurisdiction

The Library has been catalogued by the book’s Jurisdiction. Each Jurisdiction has been given a number  (table of Jurisdictions and corresponding numbers shown in PDF ’Using CDLP Library’) and then the books have been catalogued alphabetically by the author’s surname. E.g. 4.B =" " The EU – Disability and Policy in General; Blatt

Catalogued by Topic

The Library has also been catalogued by topic. Each topic has a colour (table of topics and corresponding colour are shown in PDF ’Using CDLP Lib’) and the books are colour coded by their topic.
