Interesting question, Linda.  Does anyone know if the Harbrace College Handbook is available in electronic format?  If it is, refreshable Braille strip technology on both library and student computers might be the answer.  It would also give the students access to a wealth of information in journals and on the Internet, for instance, that's seldom printed in book form in Braille.  With a Braille printer available, excerpts of often-used citations could also be made available in paper format.

Another thought is to check with Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic, since they do text books on tape.  See their Web site at www.rfbd.org for more information.

This is a request from a former student who works at a local academic
library. I've referred her to out State Library for the Blind and Physically
Handicapped. But I thought some of you might have an answer.   Thanks!

Hi Linda.

A teacher of freshman English was bemoaning the lack of current style guides
in braille.  I went to LOC and found a number of ancient ones, but none
which would assist ERIC micorfiche or Internet users.  The school makes use
of Harbrace's college handbook.  Do you have any suggestions for how I might
be able to access a braille copy (preferably for free, but not
necessarily....)

Thanks

Jeannie
