Department Resources

Resources available and utilized by the faculty, staff, and students within the RCP are greatly enhanced by the network of relationships between the RCP and, the Departments of Educational Technology, and Adaptive Physical Education, and linkages with the Departments of Communicative Disorders, Aging, Public Health, Special Education, Engineering, and Counseling and School Psychology. These linkages result in a substantive and more diversified exposure to state-of-the-art technologies in human services and clinical programs as well as increased educational opportunities.

The Library prov ides for interlibrary loan through a direct link with several thousand other libraries using the computer and telecommunications facilities of the On Line Library Computer Center bibliographic utility. Further, the current expansion of the physical facil ities will double the current capability.
