News Bulletin #1
from the
Committee for Students with Special Needs
Tape Collection
| October 13, 2004
The library has an extensive collection of audio cassettes in the AV Center. Many works of literature are included in this collection. A file located in the AV Center listing all the materials is arranged according to the traditional library style by author, title, and subject. Teachers are encouraged to visit and search the file to determine if the material needed is included. Students with visual impairments may find it helpful to use the cassettes of works included in the course content. The facilities will be arranged by the AV staff to allow students to listen to the cassettes in the AV Center. Commercially produced audio cassettes can be purchased to add to the collection if there is a need. The normal procedures for requesting the purchase of books to add to the library collection must be followed through the department. If major funds are required a grant must support the purchase. The taping of textbook materials is a process that involves much time. Delays in taping occur when the material to be taped is not submitted at the time it is requested. The timetable must be followed strictly if the deadlines are to be met. Currently a grant is supporting this process. Changing the textbook in the course often complicates the taping of materials. Consideration of a change in textbook must include this extra complication. There is a collection of previously taped audio cassettes for several courses in the AV Center. |
