The helpful tip below is from Lynn Evans, and if you aren't reading the
Lighthouse's email newsletter, thought you might like to see it, as it
looks to be quite nice:

 

* NLS patrons can now download their books directly from Talking Book
Topics

How to Search.

Using your favorite search engine you will use the search phrase, for
example, "talking

book topics May June 2013," Then choose "talking book topics May June
2013" from

your search results. This will take you to the Talking Books Topics for
the May and

June 2013 issue. Make sure you choose the HTML version of the issue.
Then you can

choose a section such as Adult Nonfiction. Each DB number is the
download link for

that book.

Downloading Books.

Once you enter via the download link, the login page for BARD will open.
After you

have logged in, the next page will have the link "continue to your
download." Depending

on your browser, entering via this link will start the download process
for the book.

This process also works for back issues of Talking Book Topics.
