Hi, all, I'm a little confused. I was under the impression that we could
download any book in the collection we wanted. With the discussion of NIMAC
books, does this mean that any and all textbooks are prohibited for people who
have not registered as a student and/or a teacher qualified to handle the
textbooks, and if this is indeed the case, how does one distinguish between the
two when we browse the titles that have been added every two to seven days?
Should we automatically exclude it if it sounds like it is educational and is
used in a possible class or other educational setting, or am I missing a piece
or two of the puzzle because I'm new. I love to learn and am impressed to see
all this textbook material available as I went through school with very little
braille, particularly in elementary and high school, some braille in middle and
high school, and tapes for middle school, high school, and a bit of college. I
read textbooks if I want to know something and this is how I gained my main
knowledge of medical terminology, and I taught myself at home and filled in the
gaps the class left by teaching myself at home, an unofficial home school, and
for that matter, what about parents and students who are home schooling or are
being home schooled? Are they excluded from the textbooks because they're not
in a traditional school setting? Thanks for clearing that up for me, and what
is the restricted nimac code to watch out for when doing searches or browsing
so we won't accidentally download prohibited and/or restricted material?
Thanks and have a blessed day.
