Before you go: I just discovered that ACB is having a virtual convention this weekend. They say that pre-registration is closed now (you can still register by calling them), but that the sessions will be publicly livestreamed on ACB Radio and will be available later as podcasts. Here's the links.
It looks as though there will be lots of interesting sessions. Here's the sessions I plan to listen to. They're all on Thursday, July 9.
1:30 pm - 2:45 pm. BRL Program: The Future of Braille. A panel will explore the future of paper and paperless braille. What concerns must we combat? What specific steps can our organization take to assure the survival and growth of our primary medium of communication as people who are blind?
3:00 pm - 4:15 pm. BRL Program: The National Braille Press. What is it doing and how can we help? Brian McDonald, Boston Massachusetts, will tell us what NBP is doing and respond to questions from us.
6:00 pm - 7:15 pm Bookshare Office Hours at ACB! The latest Bookshare updates; answers to your Bookshare questions.
