BANA Codes Update 2007

In a continuing effort to be as responsive as possible to braille readers
and braille transcribers, the Braille Authority of North America (BANA) has
created a new publication entitled BANA Braille Codes Update 2007. It is a
compilation of braille code changes approved by BANA over the past few
years. 
This publication contains updates to the following three codes:

*	English Braille American Edition 1994, Revised 2002
*	Braille Formats: Principles of Print to Braille Transcription, 1997
*	Nemeth Code for Mathematics and Science Notation, 1972 Revision
BANA is currently undertaking a comprehensive revision of English Braille
American Edition and of Braille Formats: Principles of Print to Braille
Transcription.  This update is a preliminary release of specific changes
prior to the complete revision and publication of new editions of each of
the codes.  The Nemeth portion of this update is a compilation of all
changes and errata to the 1972 edition of the Nemeth Code.  It is intended
that subsequent BANA Braille Codes Updates will be published as necessary
and will contain code changes adopted following the release of this Update.

The Update is being distributed in several electronic formats through the
BANA web site (www.brailleauthority.org). Users can easily create print
and/or braille versions from the provided files. Hard copy print or braille
versions will be available free of charge upon request to the BANA Chair
using the contact information above.

These code changes take effect on January 1, 2008.
