Thank you for the info, Ron.  I did find one collection on Gutenberg.  Other
plays are more recent and I thought they would present a problem since they
are still under copyright, but after doing a search, there are sources for
electronic versions of the plays.

Yes Chaffee specifically excludes dramatic works.  We always just processed
them as we do any other materials but have found that a lot of the older
ones are available in digital form.  I would try project Gutenberg first.

Dear Colleagues,


I have a question about obtaining plays in alternative formats (specifically
PDF) for a visually impaired student enrolled in an Acting class.  My
understanding is that plays are exempted under the Chafee Amendment from
being converted into alternative formats.  So have any of you had to obtain
alternative formats of plays for your students, and how did you go about
doing this?

Thanks so much,
Kathy
