[Blindtlk] textbooks in a different format

[Aaron Allen]

Hello Sarah and all:

As a student, I can tell you that your school can request copies of 
textbooks on your behalf in electronic format.

This is usually in accessible PDF format or in Word format.  You may need to 
purchase a print copy and show that you have done so by providing a receipt 
to either the school or publisher of the text.  I recommend acting fast 
because this often can take time.

Good luck!

Aaron Allen
