Hi Aziza, I am seeing more and more K through 12 educational material on
Bookshare. . . Have you contacted Bookshare staff about the specific case

Hi all,
I joined this list a little while ago, but hadn't seen much traffic on it
until now. So, I will follow your lead and take the time to introduce
myself. My name is Aziza. I'm from California, and am studying psychology in
my home state. I have been trying to find out the best ways to build
relationships with other blind students from other countries and assist them
to be able to get the materials and resources that are available in the USA.
I am currently working with a six year old from El Salvador. I have sent her
some of my own materials and sent her grandmother, her primary caretaker,
information on how to raise a blind child.
I'm hoping I can get some ideas of how to continue wtih my projects from
this list.
Thank you.

The significance of the announcement of NFB regarding the KNFB reader's
partnership with Baker, et al, can be summed up in one word: "Commercial."
Far from putting access to digital books closer to the average blind user,
it means that books in digital format will be out of the reach of most blind
consumers, who cannot afford the prices charged by online media vendors.
Fortunately for us, those books are still to be found on many torrent sites,
free of charge. I imagine NFB will get its cut of the pie, but, if previous
experice is a guide, such ventures won't be very profitable. Even among
sighted consumers, the digital media enterprises are not earning their keep.

National Federation of the Blind Applauds Partnership
Between K-NFB Reading Technology and Baker & Taylor
Historic Partnership Will Make Millions of Books
Available for Purchase by the Blind
Baltimore, Maryland (October 14, 2009): The National Federation of
the Blind, the nation's leading advocate for access to information by
the blind, today applauds the historic partnership between K-NFB
Reading Technology, Inc., the world-renowned pioneer in reading
technologies, and Baker & Taylor, Inc., the world's largest
distributor of physical and digital books and entertainment
products. This five-year partnership will use K-NFB Reading
Technology's soon-to-be-released electronic book reader to deliver
the highest-quality digital book content to tens of millions of
readers worldwide and harness Baker & Taylor's market leadership and
relationships with 44,000 publishers and major book retailers in more
than 120 countries.
Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind,
said: "We are thrilled that Baker & Taylor has joined forces with
K-NFB Reading Technology. This partnership, using pioneering e-book
technology, will provide blind and other print-disabled people
heretofore unprecedented access to the printed word. Until now, the
traditional consumer book market has been largely closed to the
blind, leaving us with limited access to information. Blind students
are often left behind in coursework, unable to obtain books at the
same time as their sighted peers. With this groundbreaking new
partnership, for the first time in history, commercial access to
millions of books is about to become a reality for all blind people."
Ray Kurzweil, CEO of K-NFB Reading Technology, said: "This dynamic
partnership will further my work of more than three decades with the
National Federation of the Blind to make the printed word easily
accessible to the blind. With our growing repository of e-content,
Baker & Taylor's market leadership, and our innovative book
technology, blind people will have millions of books literally at
their fingertips. We expect this collaboration to revolutionize
communication of knowledge throughout the world."
Under the broad partnership with Baker & Taylor, K-NFB Reading
Technology's new e-reader with cutting-edge 3-D technology will
present content in formats accessible to the blind and others with
diverse reading needs, and will operate seamlessly on a variety of
electronic devices, including personal computers, smart phones, and
cell phones.
K-NFB Reading Technology, Inc., is a joint venture between Kurzweil
Technologies, Inc., an innovator and pioneer in reading technologies
and the creator of the first print-to-speech reading machine for the
blind, and the National Federation of the Blind, the largest, most
influential membership organization of blind people in the United States.
###
About the National Federation of the Blind
With more than 50,000 members, the National Federation of the Blind
is the largest and most influential membership organization of blind
people in the United States. The NFB improves blind people's lives
through advocacy, education, research, technology, and programs
encouraging independence and self-confidence. It is the leading
force in the blindness field today and the voice of the nation's
blind. In January 2004 the NFB opened the National Federation of the
Blind Jernigan Institute, the first research and training center in
the United States for the blind led by the blind.

How do you know what this book deal will be. All we have seen so far
is a couple press releases, and it is not appropriate for you to make
accusations based on that. Further, if you continue to promote
"Torrents" and other illegal activities on this list you will be
banned from the list.

Dave, I recommend that the overseers of this discussion list tred lightly on
users, ;lest they resemble the censors of benighted authoritarian regimes
uncharacteristic to the democratic system of this land.
Specifically,
1. A gentle reminder that unrestricted utilization of torrent facilities
may, under certain circumstances, violate the copyright acts of a number of
nation states may suffice.
2. An equally gentle pointing out that the recent KNFB/NFB eText
announcement is curiously vague and woefully devoid of usable content would
certainly be appropriate. However, the writer in this case is expressing a
personal opinion on the matter of a public announcement, and threatening him
with disbarment/ostracization is in my modest and respectful opinion, out of
order.
Best regards,
G.

Hi,
The little girl I am working with goes to a school for the blind. They
have about twenty blind students in each class room with very little
amounts of information/materials. They have asked for canes and
Braillers and paper. The children are having to take turns with the
canes they have available since they do not have enough for everyone.
I will have more information soon, I've started to communicate with
the teachers at the school.
Thanks,
Aziza

i have a few canes that i am not using at present and i can send those but
for kids, we may need canes of their size. so if you could request nfb as
they were donating the canes to who ever needed, i think this will not be a
problem.
and thank god, that there are so many resources here to help and braillers
and paper can be arranged by different people coming forward to help. i am
sure some of us might have a brailler we are not using and can donate.
unfortunately the sad fact is that there are so many people who only think
of themselves and have so many things like note takers, braillers, braille
and speak and much more that they don't need and since they are not working
or studying that they need it. they can lend to someone who could use it and
return it back but they don't do it and very few kind generous people come
forward to help and it is because of those good people that those less
fortunate like us are surviving. so please help to whoever you can and
aziza, please let me know if i can do anything to help you with those kids.
I myself am working on starting a library in my home country pakistan
because unfortunately there is no library that produce braille books there
and we don't even have text books in braille there.
do you have skype or msn?
hina.

I also strongly object to the tone of such warnings since the list is
suppose to take in to account different points of view and I have to say
that most software venders and electronic text distributers based in the
United States are indeed commercially motivated and they mostly make a
mockery of the needs of the visually challenged. While I am in favor of
warning against illegal contents, I express some reservations against the
general attitude of toning down peoples views and that's indeed
undemocratic.

>>
>>
>>
>>Historic Partnership Will Make Millions of Books
>> Available for Purchase by the Blind
>>
>>
>>
>>Baltimore, Maryland (October 14, 2009): The National Federation of the
>>Blind, the nation's leading advocate for access to information by the
>>blind, today applauds the historic partnership between K-NFB Reading
>>Technology, Inc., the world-renowned pioneer in reading technologies,
>>and Baker & Taylor, Inc., the world's largest distributor of physical
>>and digital books and entertainment products. This five-year
>>partnership will use K-NFB Reading Technology's soon-to-be-released
>>electronic book reader to deliver the highest-quality digital book
>>content to tens of millions of readers worldwide and harness Baker &
>>Taylor's market leadership and relationships with 44,000 publishers and
>>major book retailers in more than 120 countries.
>>
>>
>>
>>Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind,
>>said: "We are thrilled that Baker & Taylor has joined forces with K-NFB
>>Reading Technology. This partnership, using pioneering e-book
>>technology, will provide blind and other print-disabled people
>>heretofore unprecedented access to the printed word. Until now, the
>>traditional consumer book market has been largely closed to the blind,
>>leaving us with limited access to information. Blind students are
>>often left behind in coursework, unable to obtain books at the same
>>time as their sighted peers. With this groundbreaking new partnership,
>>for the first time in history, commercial access to millions of books
>>is about to become a reality for all blind people."
>>
>>
>>
>>Ray Kurzweil, CEO of K-NFB Reading Technology, said: "This dynamic
>>partnership will further my work of more than three decades with the
>>National Federation of the Blind to make the printed word easily
>>accessible to the blind. With our growing repository of e-content,
>>Baker & Taylor's market leadership, and our innovative book technology,
>>blind people will have millions of books literally at their fingertips.
>>We expect this collaboration to revolutionize communication of
>>knowledge throughout the world."
>>
>>
>>
>>Under the broad partnership with Baker & Taylor, K-NFB Reading
>>Technology's new e-reader with cutting-edge 3-D technology will present
>>content in formats accessible to the blind and others with diverse
>>reading needs, and will operate seamlessly on a variety of electronic
>>devices, including personal computers, smart phones, and cell phones.
>>
>>
>>
>>K-NFB Reading Technology, Inc., is a joint venture between Kurzweil
>>Technologies, Inc., an innovator and pioneer in reading technologies
>>and the creator of the first print-to-speech reading machine for the
>>blind, and the National Federation of the Blind, the largest, most
>>influential membership organization of blind people in the United States.

Without going into the merits or demerits of publishers policies, I do
recommend that those interested in accessible educational materials contact
the accessibility administrators of their school districts and bookshare.
These organization can then contact publishers on the student's behalf to
source materials in the appropriate formats under the Chafee amendment of
the US Copyright act (17 U.S.C. ? 121).
I also urge everyone to be mild and positive sounding in our rhetoric. We
need publishers on our side folks. Gradually we are making them understand
our requirements. Berating them may not foster our cause in the end."

I also strongly object to the tone of such warnings since the list is
suppose to take in to account different points of view and I have to say
that most software venders and electronic text distributers based in the
United States are indeed commercially motivated and they mostly make a
mockery of the needs of the visually challenged. While I am in favor of
warning against illegal contents, I express some reservations against the
general attitude of toning down peoples views and that's indeed
undemocratic.

>>Baltimore, Maryland (October 14, 2009): The National Federation of the
>>Blind, the nation's leading advocate for access to information by the
>>blind, today applauds the historic partnership between K-NFB Reading
>>Technology, Inc., the world-renowned pioneer in reading technologies,
>>and Baker & Taylor, Inc., the world's largest distributor of physical
>>and digital books and entertainment products. This five-year
>>partnership will use K-NFB Reading Technology's soon-to-be-released
>>electronic book reader to deliver the highest-quality digital book
>>content to tens of millions of readers worldwide and harness Baker &
>>Taylor's market leadership and relationships with 44,000 publishers and
>>major book retailers in more than 120 countries.
>>
>>
>>
>>Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind,
>>said: "We are thrilled that Baker & Taylor has joined forces with K-NFB
>>Reading Technology. This partnership, using pioneering e-book
>>technology, will provide blind and other print-disabled people
>>heretofore unprecedented access to the printed word. Until now, the
>>traditional consumer book market has been largely closed to the blind,
>>leaving us with limited access to information. Blind students are
>>often left behind in coursework, unable to obtain books at the same
>>time as their sighted peers. With this groundbreaking new partnership,
>>for the first time in history, commercial access to millions of books
>>is about to become a reality for all blind people."
>>
>>
>>
>>Ray Kurzweil, CEO of K-NFB Reading Technology, said: "This dynamic
>>partnership will further my work of more than three decades with the
>>National Federation of the Blind to make the printed word easily
>>accessible to the blind. With our growing repository of e-content,
>>Baker & Taylor's market leadership, and our innovative book technology,
>>blind people will have millions of books literally at their fingertips.
>>We expect this collaboration to revolutionize communication of
>>knowledge throughout the world."
>>
>>
>>
>>Under the broad partnership with Baker & Taylor, K-NFB Reading
>>Technology's new e-reader with cutting-edge 3-D technology will present
>>content in formats accessible to the blind and others with diverse
>>reading needs, and will operate seamlessly on a variety of electronic
>>devices, including personal computers, smart phones, and cell phones.
>>
>>
>>
>>K-NFB Reading Technology, Inc., is a joint venture between Kurzweil
>>Technologies, Inc., an innovator and pioneer in reading technologies
>>and the creator of the first print-to-speech reading machine for the

White Cane Safety Day

Dear Fellow Federationists:
Below is the text of this year?s White Cane
Safety Day proclamation issued by President
Obama. As you will read, the proclamation
highlights the importance of Braille
literacy. It is clear that our advocacy on this
issue is having an impact on policy makers at the
highest levels of our government. We continue to
accomplish great things for blind Americans. Happy White Cane Safety Day!
Sincerely:
Chris Danielsen etc.
White Cane Safety Day, 2009
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
All Americans deserve the freedom to participate
in every aspect of our society and pursue their
full measure of happiness. For blind Americans,
the white cane is a potent symbol of that
freedom?affording them greater independence and
mobility. Today, we renew our commitment to
provide full inclusion and equal opportunities
for those among us who are blind or have low
vision. As Americans, we must nurture a society
that values the unique abilities and individual
contributions of all its people.
Individuals who are blind or have low vision are
less constrained and better integrated in our
country than ever before, but much work remains
to ensure they have the opportunity to reach
their full potential. My Administration is
committed to securing full and equal access to
education and employment for blind Americans and
all those with disabilities. The American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act substantially
increased funding for the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act, as well as vocational
rehabilitation services, including job training, education, and placement.
For Americans who are blind or have low vision, a
white cane is just one of a wide range of tools
that sustain independence and productivity. In
recent years, refreshable Braille displays and
speech synthesis devices have given these
individuals access to the Internet, unlocking a
new frontier of limitless possibility. As we
encourage the development of new assistive
technologies, we must also improve access to
existing tools. The Braille code has opened a
doorway to literacy for countless individuals,
but far too many blind children in our country
are not learning to read it. By improving
Braille literacy, we will secure a brighter future for these young
Americans.
In the 45 years since White Cane Safety Day was
first proclaimed by President Lyndon Johnson,
Americans who are blind or have low vision have
achieved substantial progress. As leaders in
government and business, academics, and the arts,
they have made remarkable contributions to our
Nation, proving that sight is no requisite for
success. We will continue to strive for a more
just and equitable Nation that celebrates
diversity in all its forms and promotes the full
inclusion of all individuals in our communities.
By joint resolution approved on October 6, 1964,
(Public Law 88-628, as amended), the Congress
designated October 15 of each year as White Cane
Safety Day to recognize the contributions of
Americans who are blind or have low vision.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Constitution and
laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim
October 15, 2009, as White Cane Safety Day. I
call upon all Americans to observe this day with
appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
this fifteenth day of October, in the year of our
Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence
of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth.
