Braille copies of the recommended learning resources will be made available as resources and production capacity allow. Short-term loans to teachers of professional literature and videos on visual impairment and deafblindness. Consultation services on the use and choice of materials and equipment. On a partial cost-recovery basis, audio tape versions of authorized and recommended learning resources are available for students designated as print handicapped, provided copyright clearances can be obtained. Copies of the current catalogue are routinely mailed to Superintendents of Schools, district administrators responsible for special education services, teachers of the visually impaired, the Crane Library at UBC, CNIB library services, other Canadian Resource Centres for the Visually Impaired and, on request, to schools enrolling a student with visual impairment in those instances where the services of a teacher of the visually impaired are not available.
Loans are for the length of time the resource is needed.
The borrower will be assessed the replacement cost of all damaged or lost items. Print handicapped students are students who, because of a sensory, physical or neural disability, cannot effectively use print materials. Copies of the catalogue are routinely mailed to all public and group 1 and 2 independent schools in British Columbia. The audio tapes become the property of the school or district that orders them. Copyright regulations require the restriction of the use of these audio tapes to students who are print handicapped.
