Recommendations are made for tentative regulations for the operation of an Educational Materials Coordinating Unit in the area of handproduced educational materials for the visually handicapped. General administrative recommendations for all media are provided in addition to recommendations by the braille, large type, and tape recording groups. Instructions are given for the braille transcription of textbooks; for volunteer produced, large type textbooks; and for the recording of textbooks. An appendix lists 11 national, 11 state, and three local agencies serving the visually handicapped and indicates the title and source of six braille reference materials. (RP)
