I would recommend doing your own MLA citation.

Subject: [NABS-L] Question About Ebsco Citations
Hello.
In recently examining some papers on Ebsco, I realised that the
citation section of the page is different from usual. I used it
regularly for school, but now that I am using for some
collaborative research, I am seeing that when I get to the
citation section, with JAWS it is only saying the words citation
Instruction but not showing a link of the citation optionsand no
citations at all.
Has anyone had this issue with citation of articles on Ebsco? If
so, are there any ways in which you have overcome this challenge?
Thanks:
Rilind.

Hi Theodore,
That?s a great question to be asking. There are many different
systems people use, but personally, I have found it relatively
easy to use only my laptop. I type very fast and accurately, so
in actuality, I keep the volume on my computer very low and don?t
much listen to it while typing, and just make sure to proofread
my notes afterwards, so that most of what I am hearing is the
lecture. You might also try keeping your braille display in your
lap and your laptop on the desk so that you can still use both.
Looking forward to hearing others? suggestions here.

is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every

expectations create obstacles between blind students and our
dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what

In both high school and college, I used a laptop with a focus 40
Braille display. I place the Braille display on top of the front
part of the laptop covering the mouse pad, and that way the
combination takes up no more room than just using a laptop. I
bring ear buds as well for when I want to listen to the speech.
Personally though, I have found using a Braille display critical.
I just don?t find it nearly as efficient to use speech
exclusively, particularly for courses such as math and chemistry.

Hi Theodore thanks for your message. When I was in college, I
used a tape recorder to record the class lectures. Because I
often had Monday Wednesday or Tuesday Thursday classes, I was
able to listen to the lectures during the week. I used my
BrailleNote Apex to take notes on class lectures. While in class,
I turned the speech off, so no one heard what I was writing.

Hey Theodore,
That's awesome you live in Australia!
I just finished my second year of college and have used my
Braillenote to write. I think that you should use whichever tool
you felt most comfortable.
I also think you should check with your Disability Services. Mine
allows me to have a notetaker for classes which I am having more
trouble or need help understanding. The notetaker is a student in
the class. They'll take notes for you, but you'll still have your
own notes so you'll have a double set. The notetaker then uploads
the notes online, which can be downloaded at any time.

Good afternoon.
I have one earbud in that goes to my laptop, and I listen to
lecture, and am able to do such. I also have a human notetaker
who is paid to take notes to give to me. I though have weird
issues sometimes? due to some other medical issues, so this is a
great help. My notetaker can also get everything off the
projector/board that the professor doesn't necessarily read off
too.

Hi,
My husband and I both use Perrla. While one does not manually
format papers, but instead allows the program to do so, it
definitely saves time and accessibility headaches. The online
version is most recommended for use with assistive technology.
Best wishes, Miranda
