[nabs-l] Where Do Textooks Come From?

[Teal Bloodworth]

Well reallyRFB&D is the only way that you can do it for yourself. If you go 
to

www.publisherlookup.com

not only will it tell you the rules and guidelines, it will tell you why. on 
this site there are alot of graphics so if i were you i would tab down to 
forms and guidelines then enter. They are only going to work with the DSO 
though and for now it doesn't really look like there is any way around it. 
Just remember its new so maybe it will change because it seems to be retty 
great.

Another thing i mentioned though is since you have to buy the book anyways 
then you can try getting a reader through DSS or even since you are going to 
have to buy the book anyways you can try scanning it. JAWS 10 reads even PDF 
files but you cant really use a form field easily PDF but you can always 
save it as a text document then make a folder on desktop for that class, and 
save it in there. Unless you want to work ahead you would only have to do a 
couple chapters at a time but if thats the case you might as well get it 
from the publisher.

sorry if i didnt help
