- Description
- The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) of the Library of Congress administers a free library service to eligible residents of the United States and citizens living abroad who cannot hold, handle, or read traditional print media because of visual or physical handicaps. Under a special exemption of the U.S. copyright law and with the cooperation of authors and publishers who grant permission to use noncovered copyrighted works NLS annually selects, purchases, and produces (using federal funds) about 2,500 full-length books and 77 magazines on recorded audiocassette and in braille. The NLS International Union Catalog provides access to approximately 450,000 titles in alternate formats. Anticipated reader demand determines the number of copies produced for any title. Once a title has been created, cassettes are mass produced under contract and distributed to 138 regional and subregional libraries across the United States. NLS also makes its braille publications available on the web and is about to launch an online digital talking book download service. For a summary description of NLS, see www.loc.gov/nls/reference/factsheets/annual.html and for more details, including future planning, see the NLS web site www.loc.gov/nls.
