Sometimes Idaho State University Disabilities Services workers must cut the bindings off from textbooks so that each page can be scanned to create a PDF file of the book for use in its eText program, which is used by hundreds of students per semester.
The reason PDF (portable document format) files are so important is that students with a variety of disabilities can use screen readers such as Read&Write and JAWS to have their textbooks read aloud to them by their computers. Having the books available digitally is essential for the success of many students.
“It isn’t just blind or visually impaired students who use our eTexts,” said Emily Logue, an ISU senior English major who has worked in the Disability Services Office for four years. “We serve a variety of other users who have other learning impairments like dyslexia and ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder).” Read More

College is a demanding experience, but focusing just on the grade or the work can cause students to miss out on that broader, richer college experience. We want you to succeed in your classes, but don’t forget how important it is to relax, have fun, and immerse yourself in the excitement of student life! Grab the opportunity to enjoy the activities and exciting events that take place outside of the classroom. U ROAR website.
