[Journalists] AP Stylebook

Tue Aug 21 16:52:20 UTC 2018

Hello all.

Bookshare books are searchable and there are marking and highlighting features.
If you ask your college disability resources office they should help you do paperwork for Bookshare, since the service is free for blind college students.

Hope this helps.

Are the various subscription rates for the online version of the book available on the homepage of the online portal, or will I need to do a bit more digging?
