91´«Ã½

At 91´«Ã½, students currently use a wide variety of programs to access courses and course material such as screen readers, text to speech software, Braille, audio recordings, tactile diagrams, scribes, note-takers and closed captioning. Read and Write, a literacy software program, is installed on all public computers in the library and all students with a 91´«Ã½ email address can download it free onto their personal computers. Additionally, all members of the 91´«Ã½ community have access to a Document Converter, which can be found on the Access Services website.
