[nabs-l] Textbook Questions

[Rob Blachowicz]

There are tons of answers to this question but here are the onesI have.
Try talking to your disabilities office they can contact the publisher as to 
a digital edition.  Keep in mind you do have to either buy the 
non-accessible digital edition first or purchase the standard print textbook 
for them to provide this.  The federation is trying to go after publishers 
to try and directly download our own books but only a few publishers have 
agreed as you can already see.
