Resource: the Council for museums, archives and libraries has issued new guidelines this month to help improve accessibility to collections for disabled people of all types. 2003 is European year of disabled people and the Resource Disability Portfolio is a major contribution to the year. Museums, archives and libraries have developed a wealth of good practice over the past few years. However, our research shows that there are still some significant barriers to access. Museums, archives and libraries connect people to information and knowledge, creativity, culture and identity. Resource's new Disability Portfolio will encourage staff to build on the good practice that already exists working towards equal access for disabled people to the collections and services of museums, archives and libraries and equal opportunities in employment. The Disability Portfolio is a collection of twelve guides which include disability in context; meeting disabled people; training for equality; and audits.
What's so special? Teachers models and their realisation in practice in segregated schools

The concept of 'special' has played a crucial role in the development of educational policy and practice, and the meaning of the term has been the subject of far-reaching debates and controversy. This paper is based on research which explored the meaning of 'specialness' in theory and practice from the point of view of practitioners working in segregated schools, providing education for young people designated as having moderate and severe learning difficulties. The research demonstrates the articulation of the individual model of special in teachers' thinking about pupils, themselves and their relationships with pupils, and also in the learning environment provided for different categories of young people. The authors argue that the dominant discursive practices of practitioners construct and maintain 'otherness' in special education, and pre-empt alternative discourses.
