RECORDINGS FOR THE BLIND AND DYSLEXIC

Slippery Rock University has an institutional membership to Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic.  The Office for Students with Disabilities can order audio taped readings, CD's and books for qualified students. 

Students must provide the following information to order books on tape/CD from RFBD.  Please bring the textbook with you when you come to order books on tape in case we need additional information. 

•        Title of book
•        Author
•        Copyright
•        Publisher
•        Edition
•        ISBN Number

Some books may also be found in the tape reserve located at the Office of Students with Disabilities.

A special, four-track tape player or a digital talking book player is required for listening to tapes/CD's from Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic.  One is available in the IMC at the library and others are available for loan at the Office for Students with Disabilities (Bailey Library, Room 122) on a first come, first serve basis.

If requested books are unavailable from RFBD, the office employs student-readers for this purpose.
Please plan ahead and allow time for readers to fulfill your request.

All RFB&D recordings, equipment and office cassettes are required to be turned back in to the Office for Students with Disabilities at the completion of each semester.  Students failing to return recordings or equipment will lose their borrowing privileges immediately. Please keep all packaging and boxes in tact in order to return materials.
