The article discusses the use of Internet resources in disability studies. Teachers can improve a student's understanding of disability studies by incorporating Internet resources into their curriculum. Some students can be intimidated by areas of a library where disability studies resources are kept and many libraries are not open at night whereas the Internet can be used at any time and is both a familiar and friendly atmosphere for students. The American Folklife Center of the Library of Congress hosts the Veterans History Project which is a collection of veterans' histories.
