[Faith-talk] Accessible Materials

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hello,
There is a process to get things recorded by NLS and placed on bard.
Generally, they do not record religious materials though. You might check 
with some nonprofit Christian ministry.
Here in virginia, the Braille Circulating Library has Christian material, 
but I do not think they do magazines; mainly books. And, its mostly braille.
I would not think NLS would record Christian periodicals; best bet is to 
ask a nonprofit to do it.

Hi Ericka,

You're giving me an order here? And you don't give any contact
information? Why don't you ask if we would please? Have you
contacted them and asked them to put their magazines and
materials on BARD? I have no idea how magazines get put there,
but I think requests have to be made directly to NLS.  Have you
checked Bookshare?

Contact augsburg fortress in Minneapolis and get them to put
their magazines & materials on BARD.  Nothing is accessible.  I
don't appreciate them putting a few things on CD or cassette and
saying "we are being served".  Aside from a braille hymnal and a
large print one they don't offer anything else.  They are more
expensive than anyone could afford and churches rarely want to
buy one.  They actually think to blind people can share!! I
spoken to people there often and got nowhere.  They are clueless!
If I lost the rest of my vision I wouldn't be able to teach
Sunday school anymore because the materials are not accessible at
all.  The students do not have anything accessible either.  Not
all of us have the technology able to make print accessible
either.  I know Kurz wheel can put things into daily format, but
not everyone has that accessibility and not every church is
willing to share.  They say copyright laws.  I had a fight about
that at my old church.  It was horrible trying to find a book for
Bible study in format I could read.  90% of the time it didn't
even come on CD.
