Subject: Web-Braille
Index term: NLS launches braille magazine
pilot project on the Internet
Following the successful implementation of Web-Braille, NLS
is now conducting a pilot project to make braille magazines
available through Web-Braille. These formatted grade 2
braille files will be similar to those for books and can be
accessed and used in the same manner.
Initially the project will consist of a weekly posting of
the braille edition of the __New York Times Large Type
Weekly__ and an occasional posting of braille sports
schedules. Other magazines will be added over the next few
months.
A link to the braille magazine pilot project can be found on
the Web-Braille site. All current subscribers to Web-
Braille can access the magazines immediately.
