[nabs-l] text books for highschool

[Ryan Silveira]

Hello,

Thank you for your e-mail.  I am currently on vacation and will return on the 7th of September, 2015.  I will periodically check my e-mail, but please do not expect an immediate response.  Thank you very much.

TO request a book, click on the "how to find books" link then on the "request a book" linke then on the "book request form" link.  That will take you to a form you need to fill out with the title, ISBN, author, publisher, and date of publication.  There are two important things about that form.  There is a box you have to check to say that you need the book for school (if you don't, they will put on the list of books for volunteers to scan but not actually get it for you) and there is a text field asking for further information that you want to write that the book is in the NIMAC in.

The special ed director and Meralend for connections education asked me if they sent me a NIMAS file if I would be able to open it and read it on my computer. But not knowing what the file extension is, I'm not sure if I'll be able to read it with my computer or not. I looked on book share for the three textbooks, they are for English, but they are not on there.
