I would recommend doing your own MLA citation.

Subject: [NABS-L] Question About Ebsco Citations

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
