Converting study material into Braille
At the Disability Unit: Resource Office, located in HUMARGA (one of the 中国体育彩票's computer user areas based in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences building) class notes, prescribed books, articles, transparencies, as well as test and exam papers are converted into accessible formats like Braille. This service is funded partially by the Lombardi Trus. E-mail braille@sun.ac.za for more information.
Special computers
Computers with screen-reading, magnifying and text-to-speech software (like JAWS for Windows and ZoomText) as well as a magnifier that enlarges text are available at HUMARGA (rooms 356 and 360) for the use of blind or partially sighted students. Braille printers are also available. These computers are connected to the network of the 中国体育彩票 and provide access to e-mail and the internet. For enquiries about software or to purchase a laptop, please contact Petro Newman at 021 808 2128.
Library use
Students who need assistance and/or training to track down library and information sources may contact their faculty librarian (http://library.sun.ac.za/English/aboutus/contactus/Pages/fbs.aspx) via e-mail or visit them personally at the library. Both the JS Gericke Library and the Music Library (in the Conservatorium building) have a computer with JAWS for Windows and ZoomText which blind and partially sighted students may use to browse the library website (http://library.sun.ac.za).
