Subject: Tactile maps for blind and visually impaired students
Sender: "Theresa C. Smith" <[log in to unmask]>


    I teach international relations and comparative politics classes for
undergraduates.  Maps are crucial for these courses and yet I am not
finding much available for students who are blind or visually
handicapped.  The excellent atlases put out e.g. by Hammond, and the
related software, gives the sighted kids a real thrill.  For everybody
else I would need physical features of continents and countries (and the
seabed) as well as political boundaries, locations of major cities,
etc.  Any suggestions???
    Thanks for your help.
