[Pibe-division] Dumb Question

[Dr. Denise M. Robinson]

Carlton.
Bookshare is great and extremely easy to use and the first place to look....many other sites too though.
Waste of time to type it out when it is already done. Can either put right on braille note to read directly or emboss a copy, but it is already done for you..

Hi all,

I have a dumb question, but here goes . . .

How difficult is it to get a good braille hard copy from a Bookshare BRF file?

I'm asking because we have waited almost an entire week to get a braille hard copy of a Cam Jansen book from the school.  an aide was typing in the print (don't know why they can't scan, but there you go) and the TVI was translating using Duxbury and printing to a Juliet on-site.  I just looked up the book and found that the BRF (and the Daisy) files are available from Bookshare.  Is there a good reason to type the whole thing in instead of using a Bookshare file?  should I assume that the teacher didn't look for the Bookshare file?  (She has her own account, as does my daughter).

If possible, I'd really like to know before I speak to her this afternoon when I pick Anna Catherine up from school.

Please feel free to email or call me directly.


I truly appreciate your wisdom on this matter (and others, of course).



Take care,


Carlton
