From the NFB-NEWSLINER Team: NFB-NEWSLINER, the largest electronic newspaper service in the world for blind and print-disabled Americans, providing free access to over 275 newspapers and magazines, is pleased to announce the launch of NFB-NEWSLINER Online (Web site: www.nfbnewslineonline.org). Through NFB-NEWSLINER Online's breakthrough and innovative features, subscribers can enjoy both an enhanced experience in reading the news as well as dramatically increased flexibility in how they choose to access their favorite publication content. We are now able to provide Icon/Braille+ users with full and innovative access to all of our publications through one new initiative, NFB-NEWSLINER In Your Pocket. With NFB-NEWSLINER In Your Pocket, users of the Icon/Braille+ can experience an increased flexibility and functionality with NFB-NEWSLINER and can more easily and quickly get their news through their digital talking book player. NFB-NEWSLINER In Your Pocket is a dynamic software application that a subscriber installs on his or her computer that, through an Internet connection, automatically downloads the publications of the subscriber's choice to his or her Icon/Braille+ (the publications will be available in your Library). Through this revolutionary initiative, subscribers can use their Icon to gain easy and immediate access to their favorite publications and enjoy the reading experience that is offered with a DAISY-reading device. NFB-NEWSLINER In Your Pocket dramatically increases both the content and value of your Icon/Braille+; why not subscribe today?

Another new initiative, Web News on Demand, is also now available. Web News on Demand provides all of NFB-NEWSLINERs traditional features over a secure, text-only Web site; this initiative affords an enhanced search capability as well as the ability to e-mail a full newspaper, a section of a newspaper, or a single article to the subscriber.

In order to be eligible for NFB-NEWSLINER, and to take advantage of these new initiatives, an individual must be legally blind or have a physical or a learning disability that prevents him or her from reading the paper independently. Eligibility is not dependent on, or restricted to, affiliation with any particular consumer or support organization; the only thing that matters is an inability to read the newspaper. Anyone qualified for the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped is already qualified for NFB-NEWSLINER!
