More copies of this ISBN:Try Your Hand at This: Easy Ways to Incorporate Sign Language Into Your Programsby Kathy Macmillan
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This guide demonstrates everything from how to set up programming involving sign language for all ages, to dealing with and paying interpreters, and from publicizing programs to the public and within the deaf community, to evaluating and improving the library's sign language collection. Kathy MacMillan's impressive understanding and knowledge of the deaf community and the importance of sign language--as well as her exceptional handling of the numerous erroneous myths about deafness and sign language that are, unfortunately, still often current--make this handbook indispensable for all library personnel looking to reach out to the deaf community. Book News Annotation:MacMillan is an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter and
consultant and has ten years of experience as a librarian, most
recently with the Maryland School for the Deaf from 2001 to 2005. She
guides library programming personnel through the common pitfalls of
new learners of ASL and the background knowledge necessary to
introduce ASL in context, and offers practical information on
establishing community partnerships, working with interpreters, and
marketing programs. The text also includes sample programs for all
ages--baby, toddler, preschool, elementary and middle school, and
family programs-- annotated bibliographies of ASL resources and
materials to use with sign language, games and crafts for ASL
programs, a glossary of terms relating to sign language and deafness,
and a visual glossary of commonly used storytime signs.
