New features and materials available in the next upgrade of BARD
The Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) site will be updated to include
braille materials, locally produced magazines, instructional music audiobooks
and braille music scores, and foreign-language materials; and new features have
been introduced to enhance the user's experience.
The new My Wish List feature will allow you to store and access titles that you
want to download later. The My Previous Downloads feature will display a list
of all of the titles you have downloaded.
Every title and magazine issue will have its own details page, which will
feature
all of the information from the summary page and include some additional
bulleted notes such as navigation information for audiobooks, the transcribing
agency for braille books, and other information from the NLS International
Union Catalog. Each details page will also feature links to other books by the
same author, audiobooks read by the same narrator, books on the same subject,
and books in the same series. Below the bulleted notes you will find the link
to download the title and a link to add the title to your wish list.
With this new release of the BARD service, the Web-Braille service will be
discontinued. Web-Braille materials will continue to be accessible through
active links in the NLS International Union Catalog as well as through the
online version of Braille Book Review. However, you will be prompted to enter
your BARD username and password when you access Web-Braille materials from
these locations. To continue to access Web-Braille materials, you must register
for BARD service. If you have not yet registered, go to
https://nlsbard.loc.gov/, select the link for BARD Application Instructions,
then choose the link to the BARD Application for Individuals, and submit the
information requested on the form.
Throughout BARD, braille listings will always follow audio listings with the
exception of those in each user's individual wish and previous downloads lists,
where they will appear in the order that you have added them to the list.
Whenever braille materials are available, a link at the top of the page called
Skip to Braille will lead readers directly to the braille results.
