[nabs-l] Learning Ally new prices

[Jewel]

I'll throw my two cents in. Personally, I will be renewing my
membership because so far I've been able to get almost all of my books
from Learning Ally. For example, this semester, I will be able to get
4 of the 5 books that I need from Learning Ally. One of those books
costs $120, so there's savings just for one of the books, and I know
one of the other books costs over $100  as well. So, the $100 fee for
Learning Ally is worth it in my mind because it is just like having a
reader whenever I need one. My school will scan and proofread books
for me, but they won't describe graphics and tables like Learning Ally
readers do. Neither will Bookshare. With Learning Aly, I don't feel
I'm missing important information such as graphs and yes, some
pictures are important too.

My thoughts,
Jewel
