"The bibliography contains 36,000 titles of academic literature and 4,800 abstracts... It focuses on modern sign language research. Beyond that, the bibliography records text related to Deaf culture, sign language interpreting as well as education of the deaf.

Being an adequate medium in sign language research, videos as well as digital media are also recorded."
