Bibliography

with Annotations and Library Links

Many books on gifted education and related topics are available for borrowing at public libraries in Connecticut and via reQuest Interlibrary Loan (ask your local librarian for assistance). Also, books may be borrowed from the Connecticut Special Education Resource Center Library (SERC), but you must pick up and return books at their Middletown facility. Periodicals often do not circulate, but photocopiers are generally available. Relevant titles may also found in the libraries of public schools; however, because borrowing practices are not uniform among school libraries, they have not been included in this bibliography.

This list is organized according to the principal topic of the books. Because there is often overlap between the interests of different constituencies in the gifted education community, you may find helpful information for your needs in works listed under other topics as well. Abbreviations (ALL CAPS) for the libraries holding each item are listed following each entry. The full library name is given at the end this Bibliography. Online public access catalogues may be accessed via Bibliomation, CONNECT, and other library consortiums.

The inclusion of a work from this list does not imply endorsement of the work or the practices described therein by the Connecticut Association for the Gifted, Inc.; the omission of a work does not imply rejection of the work or the practices described therein. Information was gathered from online public access catalogues of Connecticut libraries in July 2001 as a service to the members of the Connecticut Association for the Gifted, Inc. and the gifted education community. Contact the libraries directly to obtain detailed information about the availability of a particular item.
