[Blindtlk] textbooks in a different format

[Jane Jordan (GMail)]

Figure out who the publishers are and go to their web sites.  Buried in 
there (since they don't like to advertise it) ought to be a way to get 
accessible forms of the textbooks.  You usually have to purchase the 
print book and have your Disability Services or equivalent fill out the 
info.  Though I have had success emailing a couple on my own and 
politely requesting a book explaining that I am totally blind and what 
class I need it for.
