[Blindtlk] Question Re: Research Project

[Laney, Ann-Marie]

Hi Diane:  The NFB released a report called the "Braille Literacy Crisis
in America" on March 26, 2009 (to coincide with the Louis Braille Coin
Launch).  Below is a link to a Word version from our Web site.  The
References section towards the end has upwards of 40 citations on the
subject.  If you have any difficulty locating any sources you find
interesting--call me at the National Center (410-659-9314, ext. 2219), I
think I have copies of all the documents referenced.  Hope that helps.

Subject: [Blindtlk] Question Re: Research Project

Hi Guys,
 
I am taking a College Composition course this term, and our final
project involves writing a persuasive essay.  I have decided that I want
to do mine on the Braille literacy crisis, so I am needing to research
this topic.  
 
I know that the Monitor has had several articles on this subject, so I'm
going to try to locate those, but I am also needing other sources as
well.  I believe I have to have 5 different research references.  Does
anyone know of other publications or reliable internet sources which I
might be able to use for this project?  If so, please let me know.
 
Thanks!
