[blindLaw] Reading jaws out loud in school library

[rjaquiss at earthlink.net]

Hello:

     I would certainly suggest using headphones in a library. You can get open air headphones that allow you to hear other sounds in your area. Closed ear headphones will block out all sound except for JAWS. There are also noise canceling headphones that block out even more sound.
Another option is bone conduction headphones. A store that sells audio equipment should be able to help you try out various options.

Regards,
Robert

Hi! I did not use my law library as a space to study. However, I sometimes studied in the library during college. When I was in a public area within the library, I for sure used headphones. Libraries are supposed to be quiet! Keep in mind though that many academic libraries have carrels, and those are fine for using JAWS without headphones. Another idea to try is to occupy a classroom—or auditorium if you are feeling expansive—during off hours on the weekend or some evenings. You can do whatever you want in regard to audio preferences in those settings.


Sincerely,

Nikki
