National Rehabilitation Information Center (NARIC)

The National Rehabilitation Information Center (NARIC) maintains a research library of more than 65,000 documents and responds to a wide range of information requests, providing facts and referral, database searches and document delivery. Through telephone and online information referral, NARIC disseminates information gathered from *NIDILRR-funded projects, other federal programs and from journals, periodicals, newsletters, films and videotapes. NARIC maintains REHABDATA, a bibliographic database on rehabilitation and disability issues, both in-home and online. Users are served by telephone, mail, electronic communications, or in person. Current tasks include a crosswalk between the REHABDATA Thesaurus and the International Classification of Function (ICF); acquisition of digital media; maintaining and expanding a digital archive of original research documents; and knowledge translation activities in support of NIDILRR's mission including citation analysis, long term project tracking and promotion of NIDILRR sponsored research. NARIC also prepares and publishes the annual NIDLIRR Program Directory, available in database format from NARIC's web site and several regular publications highlighting NIDILRR research.
