Hi Paula,
When I was recently at G.E.B. I brought my own laptop , so I did not have to
worry about loading the BookPort transfer software. However, I would think
that the person overseeing the computers would be willing to work with you.
I'm pretty sure that at G.E.B. only the system administrator can load
software. So if you brought your software with you, they might be willing
to load it for you and then remove it when you leave. Call the school you
will be attending and see what they have to say.

Subject: [bookport] Bookport transfer and a computer not your own
I have a question regarding the sending of material to Bookport from a
computer which is not mine.
I will soon be attending guide dog school: probably either at Seeing Eye or
GDF. For quite a few years now, I've been getting my dogs from Fidelco
which provides training in the home area.
I am wondering if the larger guide dog schools already have Bookport
transfer on their machines for their clients' use, or do they allow clients
to install the transfer software?
If any one, who recently attended guide dog school has some knowledge about
this, please do share.
I, of course, plan to bring lots of books with me, but as a Bookshare
member, I'm sure books will become available during my stay at the school,
that I'll want to read right away.
I'm going to have to have lots to read, because I will definitely go nuts
with all the down time at guide dog school.
Thanks in advance for answers.
Paula
