    I wrote to the list before about the Open University and how I felt that my 
needs were not being met as a blind student.  My problems are on-going.  I was 
informed by the Open University that the text book on my course could not be 
provided in alternative format as there were difficulties with the publishers 
and that was the situation and I would have to put up with it.  I then decided 
that I needed to write to the publishers directly and received a response from 
them today.  See below.

    Dear Eleanor & Guide Dog Neela,

    Thank you for your email.

    I have been in contact with the Publishing Department and they tell me that 
there is no problem with you having an electronic version of this book.

    We already supply electronic copies to the Open University for all student 
textbooks that they buy from us, so its unusual to hear that they cannot 
provide it to you.

    If the OU cannot give you access then please ask your Course Tutor or 
Librarian to email or write to us requesting this on your behalf. This is the 
usual process with all electronic versions of text books. If you choose this 
option then we will charge you the cover price of the book.

    Kind regards
    Margaret
