[nabs-l] college ebooks question

[John Sanders]

Hi,
I'm not sure who the publishers are on the reading 150 and study strategies 
for success.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
John Sanders

Have you checked with the publishers to see if the books are already in
electronic format? On you on VR, I have known students who have had readers
paid for through VR.

Are you saying they claim that Michigan State provides no accommodations? I
have been on their website and they do provide etext (as long as it is not
already available from another source), Braille ( they prefer to do texts
for use with refreshable but will do paper braille books, note takers in
class etc
