Technology is challenging the way we look at knowledge; its creation, transfer methods, storage, and retrieval strategies – a great convergence of technology, academia, and library. Our world has become an exciting a chaotic fluid mass which makes it a challenge to sort out what is helpful from the clutter of possibilities. As Landmark College’s Digital Text Services Coordinator, I, Candace Brown, have been doing a lot of research for our students who are dependent upon Kurzweil 3000 text to speech software and who are leaving Landmark with the read only version of Kurzweil on their laptops. There is so much free software; free digitized databases, tutorials, books, magazines, newspapers, learning objects on the web that might prove useful/helpful for our students needing accommodations for print disabilities; I continue to be overwhelmed with organizing the amazing sites I find and getting them posted in a timely manner and decided to just keep posting and editing everything I found promising. Initially some pages might be sparsely populated and/or not complete, as I need to post all items from the past months as well as new developments. I welcome comments, updates, and suggestions. Thank you,
Candace

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
