- Summary:
-
Access to information about rehabilitation has traditionally been limited by the undefined scope of the field and by the lack of a central clearinghouse for rehabilitation information. A study was conducted to examine the feasibility of establishing a national rehabilitation resource center to improve the delivery of information. The study attempted to identify: (1) potential users; (2) the type of information materials that were needed; (3) the best storage and retrieval system; (4) the best location; (5) costs; and (6) methods to increase the effectiveness of existing materials. Employing a literature search, interviews, and think tank techniques, researchers first surveyed the state of existing rehabilitation information and then delineated what informational needs were unmet. The study recommended the formalizing of a rehabilitation information network with a national center to serve as a catalyst and coordinator. The appendixes contain bibliographic references and details concerning the interviews and workshops that were held. (EMH)
