This guide will assist you with finding Deaf International biographies. This guide helps find articles, use selected databases and websites, and search for tips related to this topic. Deaf-related resources tend to be in the HV2300-HV2600 area for books, bound journals, and DVDs. However, deaf biographies will be found in different call number areas.
Check out this e-book, It's a Small World: International Spaces and Encounters.
