>Dear All,
>Does anybody have access to tactile diagrams on topics
>relevant to a degree in Health Studies? We're currently
>looking for biological diagrams, such as the digestive system
>and respiration. We can produce our own raised diagrams if
>necessary, but in that case advice about sources of clear
>black and white line diagrams to convert to tactile diagrams
>would be helpful. Modern textbooks seem to favour colourful
>and complex illustrations.
>Thank you.
