Special offer for libraries: EASI provides TWO ways to help you make your
facilities more friendly and accessible for customers with disabilities.
Register for any one of EASI's courses on accessible information technology
and qualify for a $445 discount on a CCTV. EASI's courses provide online
month-long training in making information technology accessible. A CCTV is
a magnification device for customers with low vision that will magnify
print and make your books, journals, magazines and newspapers readable. A
CCTV is simple to handle even for customers who are seniors. This tool
will enable you to keep serving some of your most loyal supporters as their
sight begins to fade in later years. It may be useful to some of your
staff as well.
The Pulse Data CCTV available at deep discounts is the SmartView 1000. The
1000,
originally manufactured for distribution to schools and libraries
throughout Canada, is no longer a production model. The 1000 is presented
as a one-piece unit and is shipped in one box with the monitor attached.
Magnification up to 25x can be achieved with this unit. Removing the
attached monitor and connecting a 20-inch television monitor will provide
magnification up to 45x. This unit carries a three-year warranty and is
ISO 9002 quality certified. This space efficient video magnifier is very
useful in classroom and library settings because of it versatility,
durability, ease of use, and economical price.
The 1000 is currently listed at $1695.00 plus $60 shipping.
EASI's special offer to librarians registering for one of EASI's online
courses on accessible information technology: $1250.00 (plus $60 shipping and
handling) EASI is grateful to Pulse Data, the manufacturer, for allowing
us to make this unusual offer. In effect, the EASI course will be free
with some change still left over. Registration for EASI courses is $350.
This means a librarian can pay $1250 for the CCTV, $350 for the course and

plus $60 shipping.
