Dear Natalie,
Below is a link to a web site from Purdue University that has a fairly good
guide to APA, and while some of it has pdf lilke samples, there are text
descriptions of how to's. I'm a JAWS and MAGic user, and as far as I have found,
this web site is the most useful. If it's not suitable for your needs,
then do a Google search for "APA Style Guidelines" which will give you links to
relevant university web site postings. Also, I think your university
disability services offices could tape or scan a JAWS useable version of the actual
guidelines.
I had this same problem with the American Sociology Association Style Guide
and brought it to attention of the editor at ASA as well as to the national
student organization. The editor said they will make an accessible version
when they do their next revision but couldn't say when that would be. It's a
shame on ASA and APA that they still refuse to furnish accessible formats.
Natalie, if you want to write to me at [log in to unmask]
(mailto:[log in to unmask]) , I might be able to further assist you in other ways re:
accessible books, etc.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Beth

Hi,
I am a legally blind university student, beginning my first year at McGill.
I am studying Honours Sociology with a Minor in Educational Psychology. My
ultimate goal afterwards, is to recieve my masters in rehab teaching for the
blind. The courses I take require me to do quite a bit of research in the
social sciences domain, and I need to be familiar with the APA citation style.
Does anyone know where I can find an accessible format of the APA
publication manual? I am a JAWS user but the electronic version of the manual from the
American Psychological Association is not usable with JAWS.
Is there an accessible format of this publication anywhere? If not, what
have other blind students (and researchers) done to work around this problem?
I know that the publication is available on CD through RFB&D, but
unfortunately they cannot send their material to Canada. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated!
Natalie
