ABSTRACT This directory lists the names of volunteer groups, individual transcribers, and nonprofit and commercial organizations that transcribe and record books and other reading materials for persons who are blind and physically handicapped. It was compiled from information supplied by organizations and groups who perform these services. The listing is alphabetical by state. Each entry is assigned an index number and specifies such services as Braille transcription, computer-assisted transcription, print enlargements, tape recording, duplication, and binding. Entries also give such Braille code specialties as music, mathematics, and specific languages. The directory contains information in separate sections on state special education contacts and proofreaders certified by the Library of Congress. Wherever Braille groups are listed, it is understood that there is at least one transcriber or proofreader certified by the Library of Congress working with the group/organization. The introduction includes a list of other related documents on the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) Web site or available upon request, as well as additional resources for materials available in different formats. Examples of how to use the directory are given for several types of individuals.(AEF)

7. You are the parent of a blind child. You have just moved to a new state, and you want to discuss the services your child will need at a new school. Some of these services will be provided by volunteers. Look in the "Special Education Resources" section under your state for the name and/or title of the appropriate person and the address to which you should write for an appointment.
8. You are a librarian working for a regional, subregional, private, or public library. One of your readers needs a large-print copy of Macbeth. You have checked with the American Printing House for the Blind and with your cooperating library. The book either is not immediately available on interlibrary loan or has not been produced in large print. Use the index numbers to locate a source in the directory that does large-print transcribing.
9. You are planning a special social function, and you need several gourmet recipes in braille. Check the alphabetical listing to locate a braille group. Your request for recipes can probably be met in a hurry.
