RFB&D is a wonderful resource for audio books. They have a strong textbook catalog. They also have an extensive catalog of more general reading material. If you need a book that they do not have, they will also record books. (They do not, however, record every edition of a similar title.) In addition to reading the text, they provide descriptions of pictures, charts, and graphs. ****************************************************** Gaeir (rhymes with "fire") Dietrich High Tech Center Training Unit of the California Community Colleges De Anza College, Cupertino, CA www.htctu.net 408-996-6043 -----Original Message----- From: Annette Norman <anorman@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 18:44:52 -0600 Subject: [duxuser] Recordings for the blind This may not be directly related to Duxbury, but can anyone tell me if you have experience using Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic (RFB & D) for college or other class textbooks? I need to know what you all think of using that method to download books or get them on audio CD's. Can anyone share their experience and advice whether this is a good system?
