I have posted a resource list of bibliographies on the Net-Gold discussion
group of Yahoo Groups with Temple Listserv and Google Groups archives.
This bibliography resource list may be found at this URL.

Subject: DISABILITIES: RESOURCES : DISABILITIES: BIBLIOGRAPHIES: A
Bibliography and Webliography of Disability Bibliographies

I hope that other members of this list besides the original poster will
find this resource to be of some usefulness.
Sincerely,
