Large Print Dictionaries
By ann | September 22, 2011
For your patrons who prefer using a large print dictionary, the following suggestions came from the Library for Blind and Physically Handicapped listserv.
The best dictionaries are online. The Oxford English Dictionary in electronic version could be printed or set-up on a stand-alone pc or laptop dedicated to the dictionary with ZoomText for enlargement. Large print dictionaries listed on the National Library Services for the Blind and Physically Handicapped website are The Large-Print American Heritage Dictionary, Merriam-Webster’s Concise Dictionary Large-Print Edition, and Random House Webster’s Large Print Dictionary. These dictionaries are listed by vendors. Houghton Mifflin is one vendor for the American Heritage Dictionary and the others can be acquired from Independent Living Aids. If a patron wants something more substantive, use screen magnifer software and the Internet.
