[LM_NET] HIT: Weeding Sign Language books

[Dorothy Cousins <dcousins@ISLAND.NET>]

Although I did not post my message as a TARGET > HIT I have had  
several requests for the information. I received only one reply,  
which provided the information I needed.

I was a teacher of the deaf before I became a librarian. While I  
can't give you specific date, ASL as spoken English, has become more  
PC in the past 15yrs or so. Signs for Asian and Blacks have changed  
since then. I would check those types of signs, or perhpas you can  
show the books to your spec ed  or speech teacher in your school.
