During March and April, a sample of 10,000 individuals who receive NLS services will be invited to participate in a nationwide survey, which will help NLS better understand the needs of all patrons. Working with Gallup, the well-known polling and research company, NLS has developed this survey to better understand readers’ access to, and ability to use, technology. The information collected from this survey will guide NLS moving forward on a variety of projects to enhance and expand the braille and talking-book program. Invitees may be contacted by mail, email, or phone. Patrons selected for the survey will be given the option of responding in a number of ways to their invitation, which they are encouraged to do at their earliest convenience. If you have received an invitation and have questions, please feel free to contact Gallup Support at [email protected] or call 1-888-297-8999 toll-free. The following information has been reprinted from a previous edition of “In Brief” for the benefit of patrons: BARD offers an even greater selection of new audiobooks NLS is pleased to offer readers an even greater selection of new audiobooks through the Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) site and on their Android or iOS mobile device with the BARD Mobile app. Thousands more titles are now being distributed exclusively through BARD.

NLS on the Move: The latest on our new initiatives In July 2017, NLS launched a newsletter called NLS on the Move to keep the staff in our national network of cooperating libraries updated on the progress of pilot projects and other new initiatives. Selections from this newsletter that may be of interest to NLS patrons are reprinted in Talking Book Topics and Braille Book Review. From NLS on the Move, originally published January 31, 2019 Overseas services NLS has a new Overseas Librarian: Donna Koh, formerly a Reader Services Librarian in the Music Section. She steps into the job held for twenty-nine years by Y. Rathan Raj, who retired in September. The Overseas Librarian serves patrons who live outside the United States—some as close as Mexico and Canada; others on the other side of the globe. (One is on a yacht currently docked at a marina in Cape Town, South Africa!) Some of them began service as overseas patrons, while others were already NLS patrons when they moved overseas. How does a patron who’s moving overseas access NLS services? Vickie Collins, head of the Network Services section, says the process isn’t much different from transferring from one network library to another. But there are a couple of things to keep in mind: • The service isn’t offered to patrons who are just vacationing out of the country. The patron must intend to be away for at least six months. • While network libraries serve any resident of the United States, overseas service is only provided to citizens of the United States (with an exception for non-citizen dependents of active-duty military or diplomatic personnel). Thus, a patron who is moving overseas—even one who has received NLS services for years—must have proof of citizenship, such as a passport or a copy of a birth certificate showing their place of birth. A Social Security number is not acceptable for this purpose. Page 6 of 104 • Finally, network libraries with patrons needing to transfer to Overseas Services should contact the Overseas Librarian at [email protected] to finalize arrangements. Learn more about NLS Overseas Services at www.loc.gov/nls/about/services/overseas-services/, or contact Donna Koh at [email protected] with any questions. *** Newsstand The following announcements may be of interest to readers.
