[nabop] Stedman's word books and drug book not accessible to screen reading software

[Sherri]

Hello list,

I got word from the person who
teaches the transcription course for blind people out of Daytona that the
Stedman's word books for 2008 are now using bookshelf, which has been used
in the Quick Look Electronic Drug Reference for the last couple of years. I am extremely concerned about
this and feel we should let them know that this will not work for blind
people using screen-reading software and that they need to provide
accessible copies of their books for us. Does anyone know who I can contact? Are they in any sort of violation of the ADA by producing their electronic books in a format we cannot use? Any help would be appreciated.

Whether we succeed or fail in what we do is not the essential thing. 

What is important is the heart with which we live our lives.
