[accessibleimage] Survey to determine interest in Tactile Materials Lending Library

Hello all:
VIEW International Foundation (VIEW) is conducting a survey to determine the need for establishing a lending library of tactile materials and models. 
The idea is essentially:

1. A parent, student or teacher registers with the library.
2. Using either an online, paper catalog, phone or email the borrower requests an item. 3. The library sends the item using Free Matter or other carier when necessary. 4. The borrower returns the item after two or three weeks (Longer borrowing periods could be arranged.). 5. There would be a service fee of from $5 to $10 per item to cover insurance and handling. Every effort will be made to keep these fees as low as possible.
If a commercially available model does not exist, technology now exists that will allow the easy creation of three dimensional models. It is possible to use images from microscopes, MRI, CAT-scans, laser scanners and other devices to produce accurate models. If you would find this sort of service of interest, please let VIEW know by contacting VIEW as shown below. VIEW Needs the following information:
1. Name and contact information of potential borrower. Please note, VIEW WILL NOT share this information. 
2. If borrower is a parent or teacher, age of child.
3. What sort of items would you borrow if you could. For example; anatomical models, animal models, insect models, models of historical buildings, vehicles, 
trains, aircraft, spacecraft, ships, watercraft etc.

Thank you.

Regards,
