Do you think an index of a book is a good idea? If you ask a student in a classroom who needed information quickly while taking a test, my guess would be, YES! Indexes are VERY important, they save us time. An index helps a reader to locate information in a book by providing page numbers. Somewhat like a key to a map! In this week’s Dose are a few rules when transcribing indexes. — Denise Bean

The Weekly Dose of Braille is created by our Youth Services Librarian and Braille Transcriber, Denise Bean, with the help of our Instructional Materials team. It gives you a taste of braille examples that may be used in worksheets or textbook formatting. It is a miscellaneous mixture of tricky, sometimes challenging circumstances, that a braille transcriber may come across or question. Provided each week is a downloadable PDF file on each topic, a brf file can also be made available for your convenience.
