Hi,
I also use JSTOR and find it quite user friendly once you learn the way of it.
I have found over-all that on-line data bases for research purposes are
extremely helpful.

Wow good luck with that. What area of Law do you hope to go into?
By the way, I don't know if you are aware of this, but you might be able to
access a lot of journal articles from:
www.jstor.org
The University should have access to it and if not you can buy an individual
subscription. I know your message was about a text book, but the journal
articles from the Law journals on the site might help you and show your
lecturers that you are willing to research more than the average student.
Take care

Subject: [access-uk] The Open university course Materials in
Alternative Format
I wrote to the list before about the Open University and how I felt
that my needs were not being met as a blind student. My problems are on-going.
I was informed by the Open University that the text book on my course could
not be provided in alternative format as there were difficulties with the
publishers and that was the situation and I would have to put up with it. I
then decided that I needed to write to the publishers directly and received a
response from them today. See below.
Dear Eleanor & Guide Dog Neela,
Thank you for your email.
I have been in contact with the Publishing Department and they tell me
that there is no problem with you having an electronic version of this book.
We already supply electronic copies to the Open University for all
student textbooks that they buy from us, so its unusual to hear that they
cannot provide it to you.
If the OU cannot give you access then please ask your Course Tutor or
Librarian to email or write to us requesting this on your behalf. This is the
usual process with all electronic versions of text books. If you choose this
option then we will charge you the cover price of the book.
Kind regards
Margaret
