American Sign Language Video Collection
Imagine
walking into your public library and finding over 200 ASL videos on the shelves.
Dozens of videos show how to sign. Poets and storytellers shine a light on ASL.
Signing humorists get laughs. Deaf History preserves past victories. Deaf visionaries
look to the future. Would you like to learn American Sign Language (ASL)? Or are
you fluent in this language and would enjoy seeing its literature?
The Video Collection," an ASL Access Collection, is now available through the Inter-Library Loan service of the James V. Brown Library.
The James V. Brown Library is one of the few in the United States - and the only library in Pennsylvania - with this special collection of signed videocassettes for children, adults, parents and professionals working with the Deaf community, or of interest to the Deaf and those who use ASL.
In
addition to instructional videos, the collection also has videos that address
health, parenting and life skills issues: others that tell the history and biography
of deaf people; translations of classic literature and children's stories; original
ASL poetry, drama, stories and humor, and inspirational titles.
For further
information a complete guidebook is about the collection
is available online.
