[NABS-L] Question About Ebsco Citations

Mon Jun 18 15:19:53 UTC 2018

Hello.
In recently examining some papers on Ebsco, I realised that the citation section of the page is different from usual. I used it regularly for school, but now that I am using for some collaborative research, I am seeing that when I get to the citation section, with JAWS it is only saying the words citation Instruction but not showing a link of the citation optionsand no citations at all.
Has anyone had this issue with citation of articles on Ebsco? If so, are there any ways in which you have overcome this challenge?
Thanks:
Rilind.

Hi Theodore,

That?s a great question to be asking. There are many different systems people use, but personally, I have found it relatively easy to use only my laptop. I type very fast and accurately, so in actuality, I keep the volume on my computer very low and don?t much listen to it while typing, and just make sure to proofread my notes afterwards, so that most of what I am hearing is the lecture. You might also try keeping your braille display in your lap and your laptop on the desk so that you can still use both.

Looking forward to hearing others? suggestions here.

The Maryland Association of Blind Students knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind students because low expectations create obstacles between blind students and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

In both high school and college, I used a laptop with a focus 40 Braille display. I place the Braille display on top of the front part of the laptop covering the mouse pad, and that way the combination takes up no more room than just using a laptop. I bring ear buds as well for when I want to listen to the speech. Personally though, I have found using a Braille display critical. I just don?t find it nearly as efficient to use speech exclusively, particularly for courses such as math and chemistry.

Hi Theodore thanks for your message. When I was in college, I used a tape recorder to record the class lectures. Because I often had Monday Wednesday or Tuesday Thursday classes, I was able to listen to the lectures during the week. I used my BrailleNote Apex to take notes on class lectures. While in class, I turned the speech off, so no one heard what I was writing.

Hey Theodore,
That's awesome you live in Australia!
I just finished my second year of college and have used my Braillenote to write. I think that you should use whichever tool you felt most comfortable.
I also think you should check with your Disability Services. Mine allows me to have a notetaker for classes which I am having more trouble or need help understanding. The notetaker is a student in the class. They'll take notes for you, but you'll still have your own notes so you'll have a double set. The notetaker then uploads the notes online, which can be downloaded at any time.

Good afternoon.

I have one earbud in that goes to my laptop, and I listen to lecture, and am able to do such. I also have a human notetaker who is paid to take notes to give to me. I though have weird issues sometimes? due to some other medical issues, so this is a great help. My notetaker can also get everything off the projector/board that the professor doesn't necessarily read off too.

Hi,
My husband and I both use Perrla. While one does not manually format papers, but instead allows the program to do so, it definitely saves time and accessibility headaches. The online version is most recommended for use with assistive technology.

Best wishes, Miranda
