Hi all,
I just have to say here that Monica is right in three out of the four
reasons she gives for duplicating NLS titles. As for the digitization
of the cassette books, they *claim* that it depends on the condition of
the master copies. Frankly, I wish they'd taken a good deal better
care of those master copies than they did. However, they are
digitizing many cassettes, and they have also begun funneling titles
recorded by commercial houses into their collection. things are
gradually improving, I think. I don't know about the mismanagement of
NLS funds, and that's probably not a good discussion for this list. I
will say, though, that owners of the Victor Reader Stream have the
opportunity to join the NLS beta test of their downloadable audio books.
If anyone wants info on this, let me know. I'll be happy to send the
info along.
As for duplication in the bookshare collection, I think we should add
as many books as we can. If there are duplicates, fine, but let's keep
adding books, the more the merrier.
Ann P.
