Students who have difficulty with printed materials may receive textbooks on
tape or computer disks through Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic (RFB&D).
In the event that the requested textbooks are not available through RFB&D's
library, the Office of Special Student Services will record the texts.
Arrangements for taped text accommodations must be made through the Office of
Special Student Services as early as possible. Eligibility for this service is
determined on an individual basis. Students must be able to demonstrate a
substantial visual or learning impairment which requires supplemental materials
such as taped texts.
To assure textbook availability, all relevant textbook information (title,
author, publisher, edition number, publication date, and the ISBN number) must
be forwarded to the Office of Special Student Services as soon as possible. This
textbook information may be obtained by contacting the instructor of each course
directly or by contacting the University of Arkansas-Monticello Bookstore. If
you require assistance in obtaining this information you may contact the Office
of Special Student Services.
Generally, six to eight weeks notice is required to obtain taped textbooks.
The Office of Special Student Services will make every attempt to provide
materials as promptly as possible. However, late requests will result in a delay
in providing materials.
Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic's taped textbooks require special
playback equipment. A limited number of tape players are available through the
Office of Special Student Services. Students are encouraged to purchase their
own A-track tape player available through RFB&D as well as other vendors.
These compact units can also be used to record classroom lectures.
