[nabs-l] New on the list

[Jewel]

Dear Shelby,
First, about textbooks. I look for my textbooks on learning Ally book share and MLS in that order. If I cannot find my text books in any of those locations, then I go to my disability support services on my college campus and request that the book be scanned. I request that they scan it because they are scanning technology is better and because they have more time for scanning.
As for browed displays, I use a focus 40 blue for two types of classes. First, I insist on using a braille display for math classes If the textbook is available only as a word document. Second, I like to use my bro display for foreign-language classes. This allows me to learn spelling and grammar along with the actual vocabulary. I also enjoy using my braille display to read literature stories when I have the time.

> My name is Shelby. I am going to start school in the fall. I am wondering Where is the best place to get my text books? Would you recommend getting them on audio or getting the print copy and scanning them on my Mac. Do some of you use brille displays, and if so what is your preference? What are different ways you take notes in class?
