one of the problems we would have now with RFBD, which theoretically at least is a pretty good source, is that they restrict the availability of much or all of their DAISY content (in which they produce the vast bulk of their material now) to the US.

Hi mairéad, You could also try Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic www.rfbd.org Who are a library in the US specialising in providing text books in accessible formats. You will need to pay to be a member, but this isstraightforward enough as long as you can get proof of visual impairment
from a doctor etc.Also, RNIB in the uk usually have a range of third level text books and you
could try them as well. Tim -----Original Message-----
