Sorry it's been so long since I have written. School has been very busy, but things are going well. Yesterday was a Very Good Day. =)
Today, I am doing some literature review for a research proposal I am writing for a class, and that I hope to collaborate with B___ on. One of the topics I've been looking at this morning is accessibility services in libraries (that is, services for the blind / deaf / differently abled), and came across this list from Library Trends, by a visually impaired library scholar / user, talking about things that blind people cannot frequently get.
"On this point I recall that when I was in high school the Braille transcriptions of the Roman poet Catullus were censored."

- contemporary academic material
- popular nonfiction and lifestyle material frequently based on public service broadcasting
- serious fiction (as opposed to Grishams, chick lit, etc.)
- ephemera
- pornography
