[nabs-l] college ebooks question

[Loren Wakefield]

It's not just that.  Even once a receipt is turned in, it can still take several weeks to get the books.  And when you are dealing with a class with lots of reading, or is on an accelerated schedule, it can be fun trying to catch up.

Hi guys, this is Helga. I think buying the books and bring a receipt is not really so good. They are actually very expensive. It's not need for us to purchase books with our own money since we can't  read it and we are going to get an electronic copy of it. But the only way if we are buying the book is we have financial aid in order to buy them. But Financial Aid always comes four or two days before class and that is not good for us since we are not able to get our books in text or something! I think they should give Financial aid to all visually impaired studets and other disabled students in order to buy the books before hand so that they can give it to the DSS office! What do you think about this? Just curious! Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks so much and God bless!! :)
