[Nyabs] I need help!

[chancey.fleet at gmail.com]

Katie, 

Pretty clueless of them to do this at a law school huh? I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I'm sure you know where the relevant NY state law is online but call me if not. Also, I have a very high-speed scanner you are welcome to come use. 

Best,
Chancey

They aren't in volation of copyright laws iirc, not when all they ahve to do is ask the publisher, and show them that by not making it accessible for you, it violates the ADA...
