[nabs-l] College Textbooks

Thu Nov 19 05:16:51 UTC 2009

Hi all,

Remember that online classes can follow very different rules from
regular ones. It's possible that they really haven't assigned the
instructors yet. Luckily, if the textbook is in RFBD or Bookshare's
database, you should be able to get in within a week or two of finding
out the title. Otherwise, there's always the option of hiring a reader
to read the book to you if you can't get the title until the last
minute, or scanning it if you have a scanner or access to an assistive
tech lab on a college campus near you.
