NCBI Labs Electronic Braille Support Group
The NCBI Electronic Braille group resumed their monthly meetings after our
summer break. The aim of the group is to support each other around the use
of the various braille devices. We discuss all things Braille, share ideas
and solutions to queries that arise and follow the latest developments. New
members are always welcome, if interested please drop an email to:
labs@xxxxxxx <mailto:labs@xxxxxxx>
The meetings are planned for the first Wednesday of the month.
NCBI Labs is planning to roll out three training courses in the near future.
