[nabs-l] accessible magazines

[David Andrews]

NLS records about 48 magazines.  They are either 
available on cassette, or via BARD.  If you want 
one on cassette contact your regional 
library.  If you are registered for BARD, then 
their are links to download magazines on the first page.

Most magazines have multiple readers, but a 
single reader may read two or more articles in a 
row.  I believe they are tone indexed, but could be wrong.

The digital magazines are the most convenient to 
read as they are marked up to the article level 
always and usually to sections, and sometimes 
sub-sections.  This gives you great ability to skip around.
