Lucas,
Sometimes silly questions can be the ones that make us ponder the most. I would still put The End in TN symbols since this is the rule that informs the braille reader that it is the end of the transcription. I would also follow print and put The End to show that it is in print.
Thank you for the pondering,
Connie
Xia,
The paragraph about the author on the back cover with be placed under cover jacket material in the p pages (Rule 2.8). Follow the print placement location of the "About the Author" at the end of the book.
As for the social media symbols, if this is the only reference to these symbols I suggest naming the symbols inside TN symbols and add a TN before stating that social media symbols are identified prior to web addresses. Such as:
TNfacebookTN joshpeckofficial
TNtwitterTN @joshpeck
Continue the good work,
Connie
Rodney,
With the information that you have provided and not seeing the actual page it appears it is directions in 5-5, since the material is followed by questions.
Connie
Lindy,
Sorry about the confusion with "overlooked". You had mentioned the disclaimer following other material and reviews. I was referring to adding a heading would separate it from being other reviews.
Lindy,
I see these disclaimers "hidden" often on the copyright pages.
I would follow print placement. If the disclaimer is in with other information on the cover jacket material it would be helpful to add a heading to set it apart. When rule 2.7.1a states each item begins on a new braille page, that would be the front or back cover material starting on a new page, so if there was a lot of material on the jacket, it could be overlooked.
If it is not cover jacket material, then follow print placement and it would start on a new braille page. A heading would not be necessary since the new page would set it apart. Sometimes I see Disclaimer in bold.
Hope this helps,
Connie
Brittany,
I think a TN on the Transcriber's Note page is a good idea and omit the boxes. The reader will identify the text messages by the format and will be able to maintain a flow reading. Keep up the good work.
Connie
Brittany,
Follow Section 14 for dialogue. When the user name is not in print you will need to add a TN that they have been added.
The boxes moving from the right and left is a visual effect identifying the change in speaker but will be solved by following braille formats. Each dialogue in 1-3 with the speaker's name before.
I am not sure about the boxes. If you are doing each one, or each section. Be careful of excessive boxes. Sometimes the format change from 3-1 to 1-3 can be sufficient.
Hope this helps,
Connie
Barb,
If you do not need more than the 9 cells for the page reference numbers then single capitalizing Unforgettable Logan Foster will fit.
If it is still not enough, here are some suggestions:
unforgettable Logan Foster
Unforgettable Foster
Abbreviate Unforgettable and single capitalize Logan Foster
Remove all capitals, the rule states that you can adjust capitalization
I hope this gives you some options to choose from that will assist you.
Connie
Barb,
I understand this can be difficult. I try to keep at least the capital on the first word. Can you share the key words you have picked as your running head? Can they be abbreviated? Sometimes there are no other choices to maintain the 3 cells on either side of the running head.
Connie
Rodney,
It doesn't matter which line the heading starts on as long as the first item in its entirety can fit on that page. Therefore, the rule would apply to your example. Thank you for your question.
Connie
Julie,
That does not show up on my PDF. I understand it is a lot of information but it is not a footnote. It would still follow the format of a letter with that being a blocked heading. I think with it being blocked on the right side of the page will assist the reader in guiding them to the heading of the article quickly if they want to skip through the header.
Thank you for clarifying,
Connie
Julie,
I believe you are referring to the "Further Information". You would follow UEB rules 13.8 and follow the order as in print. The reader does not need that information before reading the material in the letter that precedes it.
Connie
Thank you Mary for the question.
This update would apply only to the situations when text requires that a blank line follows. In the two examples that you provided follow rules 4.3.1 for Example 1 and 7.2.1 for Example 2 starting each on line 1 since there is no running head.
Connie
Rodney,
The rule would apply here and the boxes would be omitted. The instructions and format assist the student and this is not expendable material.
One scenario in text where material mentions boxes that is maintained in braille is when it refers to a section of text such as a side bar or boxed material within text material that needs to be set apart.
Hope this helps,
Connie
Rodney,
I do not see any attachment. Can you please try to attach again and if needed you can send the attachment to me at cstone@nationalbraille.org.
