For > this, we need your feedback. TBBL needs feedback from you on the sign up > process and usability, as well as any suggestions you may have that would > help make Bookshare a stronger resource for libraries and their patrons. In > return, TBBL and Bookshare are offering, free-to-you, one year of unlimited > access to Bookshare's books and services. > > Criteria: > > A. Must be a TBBL patron > B. Not a Bookshare member at the present time. > C. Must be age 18 or over > D. Must have access to a computer and the Internet. > E. Must have computer skills necessary to browse the web, install Bookshare > utilities, and download books. > > If you are comfortable filling out online forms or making purchases over the > Internet, you'll be comfortable using Bookshare. > > Bookshare Books and How They May be Read: > > The majority of books from Bookshare are created by scanning so they contain > the full text but no pre-recorded human voice. They are all rated for > quality to indicate the level of proofreading after scanning. More than > two-thirds of the books have the top quality rating indicating almost no > errors. Bookshare has over 17,000 books and adds several hundred each month > to the collection, largely through efforts of volunteer scanners. Bookshare > books can be read using almost any assistive technology that users may > already have and be comfortable with, so long as it supports reading > text-based documents. You may also listen to the books from Bookshare using > the Bookshare Edition of the Victor Reader Soft DAISY reader, provided with > membership. Alternatively, you may read the book with a screen magnifier or > in braille format with a portable braille reader or refreshable braille > display. You may request a cd containing Bookshare utilities. > > How it Works: > > if you want to become a member of this free pilot project, please contact me > by July 15th via email at tmurphy@mail.nysed.gov or phone at 518-474-5957. > Your first name, last name, home address, and email address will be > submitted to Bookshare.

Please ask that person to call me by July 15th and let me know of > his/her interest. If there are still memberships open in this limited pilot > project, TBBL will be happy to include this patron. > > If you have any questions or need additional information, please send me an > email at tmurphy@mail.nysed.gov or call at 518-474-5957. > > Tina 518-474-5957 > New York State Talking Book and Braille Library > Email: tmurphy@mail.nysed.gov > > > > -- > Ann K.
