Bibliography Long and Three-Hyphen Dash
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.
Following print, is and will usually remain the steadfast rule in most braille transcription work, however, there are always exceptions. This week, we follow up quickly with a question that came in through on my phone messages.
“Can you remind me of whether or not emphasis should be used for bibliography transcriptions?” I understand why this question is mentioned, because bibliographies generally insert a lot of print emphasis, especially with all the book titles.
Enjoy this week’s Dose and remember, the take-away, simply follow print!
So grateful for each and every one of you!
