Hi Evan and Jamie, 

 

Is part of the reason they used the tapes and it looks like a special memory
format is to keep the books from being used by the general public. The tapes
were on a special four track format that ran at half speed compaired to a
standard tape. IT is similar to what bookshare is doing with the encoded
format. It allows the persons that are qualified to use the resource to have
access and not the general public.

They're switching to a solid state memory card system for books starting
next year.

I forgot to say I'm amazed that in this day and age NLS would concentrate on
books on cassette.

 

Cd players have been "in" for such a long time and that format of music is
so easily converted to ipod style players that it would seem that cassettes
wouldn't have much popularity.
