Hi All,

I'm interested in receiving some input on how law schools have gone
about teaching "book research" skills to blind students. While I'm
exploring such software programs as JAWS for computer screen reading,
that tool simply cannot address teaching the old-fashioned skill of
book research. Since I'm at the beginning of my research on this, I
probably don't even know all the considerations and eventualities that
need to be addressed.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brent.
