The deciding thing is that you're legally blind and can prove it. Being a member of NLs is not a requirement. You just have to have proof that you're legally blind that you can provide. When I signed up I was not a member of NLS. I and a person who could testify that I was blind logged on to Bookshare, filled out the information, faxed the requested material, and provided my credit card number. That was in the morning. Of course my email address at home was part of the required information. By the time I got home, Bookshare had sent me a password and welcome letter. I was logging in that very night.
