NLS Operations Alert

 

No. 16-72

 

DATE          :    August 1, 2016

TO                :    Network Libraries

FROM         :    Meredith Beckhardt, Head, Reference Section

SUBJECT   :    Assistance requested with directory update

 

 

The NLS Reference Section requests your assistance with updating the Directory of Producers of Accessible Reading Materials (formerly titled Sources of Custom Produced Books). The directory lists individuals and organizations that reproduce material in accessible formats for people with print disabilities. The 2015 version of the directory may be viewed at http://www.loc.gov/nls/reference/directories/sources.html.

 

To prepare for the next version of the directory, NLS requests that network libraries scan through the list of resources in the 2015 version of the directory, and inform us if there are any additional producers of braille, audio, or large print within your state.  Furthermore, if your library custom produces any accessible materials for the public (fee-based or free) besides NLS materials and would like to be listed in the directory, please let us know.

 

To submit the name of an additional producer or to add your organization to the directory, please email Chris Corrigan at [log in to unmask] with the name and contact information for the producer and he will follow up with them to gather the details.
