Remember, to order an accessible book file from SET-BC, you must sign for proof of ownership of the requested title. Once the accessible book cd is received, plan to attach the CD to the inside cover of the book. There is one Accessible Book file per cd.

The files have been created using a variety of software applications for either Mac and/or Win operating systems. Before you order, please note the software application and type of computer for which each "accessible book" file is designed. Also remember that if the application has a "player" you can run the file on the computer platform indicated without having the application program.

Known Challenges

For Mac users of OSX and later version:

New Macs and Imacs with the new Intel chip do not support Classic OS mode including Powerpoint or Powerpoint Player.

Possible Solutions: Purchasing iWork will give students using Apple computers the Keynote application which is required to run accessible books from SET-BC on new intel based Apple computers.
