From Glenda.Hong at nhmccd.edu Wed Dec 8 08:05:26 2004 From: Glenda.Hong at nhmccd.edu (Hong, Glenda) Date: Sat Jun 9 18:27:56 2018 Subject: [athen] Alternative formatting station Message-ID: <8968536AA38AE049AC317C6890BA680F2D19F3@DIS-MAIL.nhmccd.net> Our district is moving to a District Wide Model in all of our services to disabled students. With this in mind we are planning to set up an alternative formatting station that would serve all the needs for our 10 sites. My question to the group is what would you say would be the necessities for such a station? I was thinking a computer with CD writing capabilities, WinZip, a high speed scanner with top of the line OCR software, Duxbury software, and both ink and braille printers. Can anyone think of other things that would be needed as well? Formatting would include large print, Braille, eText and taped text. Thank you for your help and support. gh, ATACP Houston, TX, 99 Glenda Hong Assistive Technology Lab Specialist North Harris College, ACAD 201 2700 W. W.

Our Graphics department will "trim" (cut the bindings off) for free and re-bind with either a spiral or comb binding (depending on the size of the book) for a nominal fee - anywhere from $1.50 to $3.00 per book. We could buy a comb binding machine with the money we're paying our Graphics department to rebind the books, but personally, I'm too busy to be in the binding business.
