Wife assault is an important social problem that needs to be addressed by librarians and library and information science (LIS) researchers concerned with the way in which battered women search for information. This paper reports on two studies in which the social service network is viewed as a type of information system and which question the effectiveness of community responses to the information needs of battered women. The results of these studies suggest several ways in which LIS professionals can better assist three client groups: individual battered women, social service providers, and public policy or decision makers.

The interactive presentation of information has special utility for individuals with cognitive disorders who may experience difficulty processing information from books. This article reports on a use of computer-aided instruction (CAI) and multimedia technology to meet the information needs of a special population-people who have severe and persistent mental illnesses. LSCA Title I monies funded this alternative approach to traditional institutional library services to explore the promise held by CAI for helping thought-disordered patrons internalize information, in this case on consumer health and vocational topics. Described here are this population's special needs, the rationale for services to be tailored accordingly, uses of computers in psychiatric rehabilitation, collection development and usage, and reaction to the project.

With the passage of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) academic institutions have worked to accommodate students who seek access to their programs. Libraries, too, must develop ways to meet the needs of disabled college and university students. This article discusses some approaches to meeting those needs.
