Hi all.

I thought I would forward this to all who may be interested.

BANA Offers New Publication-The UEB Reader
The Braille Authority of North America (BANA) is pleased to make available 
The UEB Reader, a resource designed to introduce braille readers to Unified 
English Braille (UEB). This introductory hardcopy braille booklet 
incorporates into one document several key resources found on the BANA 
website. The UEB Reader is available free of charge upon request.

The UEB Reader includes content from BANA's publication, Overview of Changes 
from Current Literary Braille to UEB, plus several example documents 
transcribed in UEB for readers to use as practice. This resource was 
compiled to help current braille readers become more familiar with UEB and 
to assist braille readers, transcribers, teachers, and families as they make 
the transition to UEB.

To receive a free braille copy of The UEB Reader, contact Kim Charlson at 
kim.charlson at perkins.org with your name and address for mailing purposes. 
Requests for the UEB Reader including your name, address, and phone number 
can also be left on the UEB Information Line at 617-972-7248.

The Board of BANA consists of appointed representatives from seventeen 
member organizations of braille producers, transcribers, teachers, and 
consumers.

The mission of the Braille Authority of North America is to assure literacy 
for tactile readers through the standardization of braille and/or tactile 
graphics.



The purpose of BANA is to promote and to facilitate the uses, teaching, and 
production of braille. Pursuant to this purpose, BANA will promulgate rules, 
make interpretations, and render opinions pertaining to braille codes and 
guidelines for the provisions of literary and technical materials and 
related forms and formats of embossed materials now in existence or to be 
developed in the future for the use of blind persons in North America. When 
appropriate, BANA shall accomplish these activities in international 
collaboration with countries using English braille. In exercising its 
function and authority, BANA shall consider the effects of its decisions on 
other existing braille codes and guidelines, forms and formats; ease of 
production by various methods; and acceptability to readers.
