[blindlaw] Handling Quoted Materials in Class?

[Rod Alcidonis]

Sara, yes I have the books in electronic format. The problem is not so much
of finding the material; it is to read it in its original form. As I said in
my previous e-mail, unfortunately the Braille Light is not well designed to
handle this task. That's where I am stuck. Now, should I go and spend $3000
of loan to acquire an actual Braille Display? That's the tough question for
me, and whether this will even solve the problem.

Rod,
Can you get a braille display to accompany your laptop?  If so you could 
have the entire text with you, and a braille display coupled with the 
keyword find feature should allow you to be able to find and read the 
particular text almost as efficiently as the sighted students.
