Resource directory
There are thousands of websites about hearing and vision loss. So to save you time, we've created this handy list of go-to sites.
Our monograph collection includes specialised material published in Australia and overseas. We maintain a core collection of journals in the field of education for children experiencing hearing or vision loss, in print and electronic form, as well as books, conference proceedings, annual reports, newsletters, videos, DVDs, kits and CD-ROMs.
The library also holds archival material documenting the 160-year history of NextSense.
