It took us a few days, but we digitized NARIC’s entire collection of Rehab Briefs! Of the 181 lsted in REHABDATA, we digitized more than 160 issues. Each 4-page newsletter has been scanned, OCRed, and indexed.

The Rehab Briefs were a regular publication, produced on behalf of NIDRR by several contractors and institutions, from 1978 to 1994. Each issue reviewed a topic, such as arthritis or supported employment or parenting with a disability. The authors detailed the issue at hand, including relevant research and new developments. Each issue was reviewed by a professional in the field (many include reviewer comments).

All of the abstracts for more than 180 issues are available in the REHABDATA database. Review them at http://bit.ly/Mkn24
