Redmond, Linda Accessibility (for Disabled) Adults Blindness Braille Children Disabilities Electronic Libraries Federal Programs Libraries Program Development Reading Materials Research and Development Talking Books Technological Advancement Visual Impairments World Wide Web This monograph summarizes the status of the Library of Congress's National Library Service (NLS) Talking Book Digital Conversion Project, a project to offer digital sound reproducers and its library materials in digital format beginning in 2008. Following an introductory section describing National Library Service services and users and the background of the project, a section details 20 steps to this next generation of NLS technology broken down into a design phase (5 years) and an implementation phase (9 years). The next section summarizes work accomplished to date focused on: (1) building standards and creating management tools; (2) creating a digital collection; and (3) designing a player. The following section provides more information on the nine tasks necessary to implement the use of digital talking books. The final section describes the Web Braille program which uses digital Braille, noting that digital files of NLS-produced Braille materials can now be downloaded from the Internet.
