Hi Mark.
We recently acquired two publications which may be of interest:
Accessible Exhibitions: Testing the Reality, by Elizabeth K. Ziebarth and
Zahava D. Doering, Jan 1993, Report 93-1(does have recommendations for
manipulatives and audiovisuals in exhibitions)
Equal Access: Smithsonian Publications and Events, by Elizabeth K. Ziebarth and
Zahava D. Doering, Feb 1994, Report 93-4
Both published by:
Institutional Studies Office
Smithsonian Institution
A&I 1271 MRC 405
900 Jefferson Drive, S.W.
Washington, DC 20560
202-786-2289

Sorry, I don't know the cost, as some one else ordered them. I'm glad you
brought this subject up, as I need to review it also.
