[blindkid] NIMAC Boobks and Bookshare

[Sally Thomas]

Has anyone gotten a textbook from Bookshare that is on the NIMAC but not on 
Bookshare's site?  I just listened to the Bookshare webinar concerning the 
availability of textbooks for public school students: 
http://www.bookshare.org/assets/webinars/2009-11-23/lib/playback.html . It 
was very interesting and helpful.  Since my son's school is using a new 
literature textbook this year, I'm hoping that the school will be able to 
get the textbook from Bookshare quickly.  I didn't find out about the lack 
of a braille copy of the textbook until after school started.  The school 
was going to let him go through the year without a textbook!
