NARIC collects and catalogs the abstracts of disability and rehabilitation literature from the NIDILRR grantee community and beyond. The Disability and Rehabilitation Literature Database (REHABDATA) has more than 300,000 articles, books, reports, consumer materials, and multimedia published since 1956. This collection includes products generated by NIDILRR-sponsored projects as well as international literature collected by the Center for International Rehabilitation Research Information and Exchange (CIRRIE). We do not include brochures, PowerPoint presentations, unannotated bibliographies, or prepublication announcements.
