Newswire:
Most of you are aware that a major update to the NLS BARD site was released
November 27th. After some initial problems on day 1, the enhanced site was up
and running successfully by the 29th. We will be discussing the changes
including the addition of Web-Braille to BARD, additional book information such
as links to all BARD books by that author, series links to companion BARD books
when the title is in a series, subject links to books in the same subject, and
narrator links to BARD books read by the same narrator when drilling down on a
book's link. We also will discuss the my wish list, the my previous downloads,
and the account settings which have changed. Please join us and bring your
questions about the new features and any ideas you might have to best utilize
them.
