About the collection
Scope Information Centre is a specialist service used by professionals, staff, families and clients of the organisation. The collection has particular strengths in the subject areas of cerebral palsy, physical and multiple disabilities, sensory integration, speech and augmentative and alternative communication. Our collection consists of books, journals, audio visual and multi media material.

The Information Centre is concerned with effective information retrieval and equitable access to information across social, economic, geographic and educational barriers.

The Internet, new communication technologies, government online strategies and electronic commerce are driving a massive change in the way the community seeks information and receives services. While attempting to meet these new community needs we aim to ensure clients, families, professionals and the general community can access our resources as quickly, easily, and cost-effectively as possible.

Infocat, our online catalogue, is a joint venture between, Scope, Yooralla and Family Planning Victoria libraries.
