[Athen] Braille Economics Materials, Free to Good Home!

[Patrick Burke]

>Hi everyone,



Of course nothing is free, the economists tell us. Still...:

The box of stuff handed off to me from another department was WAAY 
heavier than I expected. Investigating, I discovered two max size 
braille binders with hundreds of economics graphs & charts (with 
description keys on facing pages). They appear professionally done, 
but there's no title page or other identification of the transcriber.

This is just the Figures from the book(s). I don't have the main text 
that should be associated with them. Maybe the main book was on cassette??

The label on one of the volumes says:

Microeconomic Theory: Basic Principles and Extension. By Robert 
Nicholson. The other vol just says "Microeconomics Theory & Policy".

It seems a shame for them to go to waste. If anyone has any economics 
students who read braille, they might be useful. If so, let me know & 
I'll get them to you. Or, since most of the pages are only brailled 
on one side, you could use them for months (or years!) of braille 
test printing!...

I also have a 101-page intro to Linux chapter from a computer science 
text that I brailled about 10 years ago. (I'd have to dig thru the 
archives to figure out what the source is.) I can send that also, if 
anyone wants it.

Thanks much,
Patrick
