[blindLaw] Accessibility of e-books from West academic

[MIKE MCGLASHON]

Hi Lauren:

Well if west academic has digital versions of their books,
You will need to download their special reader but the books can be read inside that reader. However,
Depending on what class you are taking where the book is missing,
You may wish to get with the prof, the syllabus, and see what cases are involved in your class, and, if the prof is willing, (and I don't see why they wouldn't be), he can provide citations to the cases so you can go onto lexis or west, download the cases and read them that way.

Yes, it is true that you will not have the special notes provided in the textbook; also, the cases you download from lexis or west will not be edited for pin point topics, but,
You will be able to keep up with the goings on of your class;

Also, I've had to do this a lot as there have been many times where I lacked a textbook for class.

Heck, even one time, I got my dss converted textbook one day after I took the final for the class.


Please advise as you like.

Mike M.

Hello all,
Are the e-books from West academic accessible? I had to drop and add a class last minute, and I don’t want to fall behind while I wait for Disability Services to get me an accessible PDF. I tried looking on Kindle and vital source, but couldn’t find anything. 
As always, thank you for all your help and wisdom. 
Lauren
