I recently wrote this group concerning where books about ASL and deafness
in gernral should be placed (i.e. foreign lang, Ref, education, etc.).
On my last trip to the Mall, I was in the same bookstore (a B'Daltons)
and found all of the ASL and Deaf Culture related materials under
Cultural/Ethnic studies. This is the same area where books on Womens Studies,
American Indian studies, etc are kept. The manager wants to see how where
they are placed affects thier sales ( it is a store after all.) and is also
interested getting any reactions members of the deaf community may have to
offer.
