[nabs-l] I'm looking for a book

[Karl Martin Adam]

The trouble with that is this is a stats book, which means it 
will include a large number of tables, graphs, and mathematical 
formulae, and Bookshare does not typically transcribe these 
properly nor are they accessible in a pdf from the publisher.  
Someone would have to actually sit down and write in descriptions 
of the graphs etc. to make the book accessible.  This is awkward, 
but if you can't get that done, you might have to have your dss 
provide you with a reader to sit down and explain the graphs and 
formulae to you.  Make sure you get them to give you someone who 
knows statistics--sometimes they will give you like an exercise 
science major or something, and they will have a really hard time 
describing things.

If you have already tried both Learning Ally and Bookshare then I 
have a few other  suggestions. you should ccontact your bookstore 
to see if the print version of the book comes with an access code 
that gives you access to the online version of the textbook. If 
that is not a choice then you or your Disabled Student Services 
could request an electronic copy directly from the publisher. 
Lastly, you could put in a special request on Bookshare and if 
they can obtain the book they will make it available to you as 
soon as they can. I will tell you though that if you choose to 
request a book from the publisher or if you pace a special 
request from Bookshare that i may take a while before you get it.

 Hello all,
 For 2 of my spring courses I need a book. Unfortunetly my new 
school
 has a little idea and experience about alternate texts. They 
think
 that a simple pdf is accessible
 I also registered to those classes very late. So they are in 
short of
 time and don't have so much past experience.
 Did anyone use this book in accessible format?
 An introduction to statistical concepts? 3rd edition
 Richard Lomax, it should be 2012 or 2013
 If yes please let me know. My school can ask your school's 
disability
 services dept to get the accessible version of it from there.
