[Athen] Resource for math & science images

[Gaeir Dietrich]

Another great resource for tactile images is the American Printing House Tactile Graphics Image Library (TGIL). 

http://www.aph.org/tgil/ 

 

TGIL has a large library of images that make great starting points for PIAF, and it is free.

 

If you are not familiar with PIAF, it is a great system for creating raised images.

By the way, I am *not* happy with the paper that comes with the new PIAF machines. I would highly recommend getting the Swell Touch paper from American Thermoform.

Good luck!

A colleague shared this resource with me - http://www.benetech.org 

 

Looks like they do BookShare and DIAGRAM (http://diagramcenter.org/)

 

I'm familiar with BookShare and wonder if anyone has worked with DIAGRAM.
