DOCUMENT HOLDERS

To avoid serious neck and back pain, any material referenced by the user must be upright, as close to the monitor as possible. The document holders listed below hold heavy books/binders and printouts. These holders allow data to be placed directly in front of the user, between the keyboard and monitor if there is enough space. Do not raise the top of the screen higher than your straight-ahead vision.
