[nabs-l] Book help for college

[Karl Martin Adam]

This varies by state.  Each state has a different acronym for 
their rehab agency, and what the rehab agency covers also depends 
on which state you are in.

DOR is the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. Basically, 
they
help you get a job. They will provide partial funding for 
college,
including courses and course materials. They will provide 
technology
if you need it, vocational training, orientation and mobility
training, etc.

 Sighted students have to buy the books, so it's really not

 for you to need to buy them as well.  Though as a blind person 
you do
 have
 access to books on Bookshare, and if you know what your books 
are going
 to
 be several months in advance, you can request Bookshare to 
produce them
 for
 you.  Some books are also available as e-books through IBooks,
 GoogleBooks,
 etc., which are at least partially accessible.  The only problem 
with
 e-books, and many bookshare books that were provided by 
publishers, is
 that
 they often are not paginated, which makes them difficult to 
cite.

 Dear all,
 What do you do for school books? My university converts them for 
me in to
 a word document but in order for them to be converted the 
physical book
 has
 to be rented or bought. My question since physical books are 
inaccessible
 how can I save money and get the access I need?
