The Paul Robeson Library and the Rutgers University Library System are the best places to get aquainted with the literature of a specific field. Not only are there stacks of shelves with books on every imaginable topic related to childhood studies, the Library also features a large collection of periodicals, indexes and databases, and its staff assists patrons with specialized requests, such as 

• Vibiana Bowman, MLS, developed a pamplet with library resources. It contains major reference resources related to childhood studies with call numbers and selected electronic indexes to journals at the Rutgers Camden Library.
  
• Assistance and access to library materials for users with special needs including: a Kurzweil reader, WindowsEyes software, and a page enlarger for the use of the visually impaired.
