[Ohio-talk] Fw: College Textbook Affordability Acts

[Robert Spangler]

Thank you all for your advice and words.  I am going to schedule a 
meeting with several people from the office of accessibility--older, 
professionals and not a bunch of students who don't care--to get this 
settled.  Sorry if some of my messages sounded harsh but I am going to 
be direct about this and, for the long run, I will accept nothing less 
than an accessible copy of all of my books.
