[nabs-l] A possible outreach idea

Sat Jun 29 00:30:37 UTC 2013

Hello Anjelina,

Does the resource page on the NABS website not meet your needs? It has been 
a wile since I last checked it out, but it seemed rather comprehensive to 
me. What else would you like to see listed that does not appear on this list 
of resources?

It would also seem to me that if a student is looking to find more 
information then they would be willing to take the necessary steps to obtain 
this information. If anything else, you could suggest to the other blind and 
visually impaired students to join this email list or connect with someone 
from the NFB on a local or state level. In a world driven by technology and 
the internet, it would seem to me that this information would be easy to 
find.

Just my thoughts for what it's worth.

Elizabeth
