August 12 1 PM Eastern:
EASI free clinic first of a 2-part Series on Bookshare.org
Presenter: Heide Stevenson
Electronic texts are becoming more significant and more common as a way

to provide alternative media for students and professionals with

disabilities. Bookshare.org is a creative and innovative system to

greatly increase the availability of etext reading, adding to the

important work already being done by the National Library System and

also by Recording for
the Blind and Dyslexic. This is a valuable resource both for

individuals and for schools and colleges. This clinic will focus on

Bookshare.org as a resource for professionals, talking about access

options and exciting new content.

September 23 1 PM Eastern:
EASI Free Clinic, Part 2 of the Bookshare.org series
Presenter: Heide Stevenson
Electronic texts are becoming more significant and more common as a way

to provide alternative media for students and professionals with

disabilities. Bookshare.org is a creative and innovative system to

greatly increase the availability of etext reading, adding to the

important work already being done by the National Library System and

also by Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic. Etext from Bookshare.org

offers broad flexibility of use such that the reading method can be

matched to the needs of the individual reader depending on the print

disability and the reader's preferences individuals with learning

disabilities may want bimodal access (combination visual plus audio)

with highlighting and other visual supports, whereas individuals with

visual impairments may choose audio or Braille and can read from a

computer or with a portable device. This clinic follows on the first

clinic series on August 12th, and will focus on Bookshare.org as a

resource for schools and students, discussing Institutional Access and

independent student subscriptions as well as textbooks and other school

reading material.
