Hi Roger,
I meant to send this yesterday, but in any event, this is great news. Thanks
for sending it over. I intend to get on it right away. I am very curious to
see what they have.
Evan

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Australian Talking Books
For those of you who are not subscribed to the BARDTalk email list I
thought you might be interested in this. The director of the talking book
program in Western Australia is on the list and he has offered to allow us
Americans to enroll and to be able to download recorded books from their
web site. In order to enroll you do need to provide proof of disability
and it so happens that they will accept the word of your NLS affiliated
library as proof. If you are registered with an NLS network library and
would like to try out downloaded Australian talking books then ask your
library to email the following information:
Your full name and physical address.
Your email address.
The nature of your disability, i.g., blindness, dislexia, etcetera.
Full contact infor mation for the library for verification purposes.
There is a slight difference between qualifications for using NLS books
and using Bookshare. I think the qualifications for the Australian books
is more identical to Bookshare, so if you are registered with Bookshare
and not with the NLS you might want to email them in Australia and ask if
they will accept the word of Bookshare as proof of disability. The email
address that your information and any questions you may have should be
sent to is dtb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
