[games_access] Origins of Accessible Gaming Historical search...

[d. michelle hinn]

Hey Barrie -- I'm actually in the middle of doing a giant lit search 
so let me see if we have it at our library here and then I can scan 
it in and send it to you. Fun Facts about the University of Illinois: 
The term "learning disabilities" was first coined by a researcher 
here and our library is the third largest university library (behind 
Harvard and Yale) in the country so finger's crossed that it's in our 
database but I'm hoping it is just because we seem to have just about 
everything ever published on the shelves. I'm going to the library 
tomorrow actually so if it is I can get it pretty quickly. More after 
I look at the university database!
