[nabs-l] math textbook question

[sarah.jevnikar at utoronto.ca]

Hi Rachel,
I'm shocked your school won't pay for this. Transcription of books is  
far too expensive for students to handle themselves. Having a reader  
will not suffice for math; I tried it and it doesn't work. Not for  
visual things like diagrams, and equations can get complicated and so  
reading them in Braille would be most ideal. Do you need this  
immediately? It will take time to be brailled, so I would recommend  
talking with your professors ASAP about this issue so they can  
accommodate you.
I hope it works out.
Sarah
