Greetings! In June and July of this year 184 print-impaired library users

digital audio book service from netLibrary and Recorded Books LLC.
The final report on this field test is now available.
I have placed both HTML and Microsoft Word versions on the web. The direct

The direct URL for the Microsoft Word version (1.5 MB in size) is:

I thank everyone--netLibrary/OCLC staff, participating libraries,
end-users--for supporting and participating in this field test of the
accessibility and general usability of this service by individuals who are
print-impaired. I also thank the Mid-Illinois Talking Book Center and the
Alliance Library System for organizing and supporting this study.
