Abstract

Computer technology is constantly improving the means of people with a disability to access information. From the earliest electronic bulletin board systems, to listserv software on mainframe networks, to gophers, and now world wide web software, access to a vast amount of disability-related information is becoming much easier and affordable. A brief overview of these developments and several resources for disability-related information are presented in this review.
