Index term:  Financial aid for disabled students on cassette

The U.S. Department of Education has produced a cassette
guide on financial aid for disabled students interested in
postsecondary study.  The recording, in the form of a
conversation between a high school student who is disabled
and an information specialist from the department's Federal
Student and Information Center, discusses federal financial
aid programs and vocational rehabilitation funds for
eligible students.

Each network library will receive one copy.  The following
announcement will appear in the May-June 1997 issue of
_Talking Book Topics_:

       An audio publication giving information on academic
       financial assistance for students who are disabled is
       now available from network libraries...

       For a cassette copy of the publication, contact your
       cooperating library.  For a copy in compact-disc
       format, write Student Aid Audio Guide, Federal Student
       Aid Information Center, P.O. Box 84, Washington, DC
       20044-0084.
