[nabs-l] bard web site

[Peter Donahue]

Good evening,

    Paying a subscription to protect our accessible book collections from 
governmental boondoggling is okay in my book. Bring it on!

I'm all for making government much smaller, but privatizing the NLS arm of
the LOC is probably not the best case scenario. People would have to pay,
not an issue for gainfully employed people but certainly a problem for the
70% unemployed folks already on a low income. Me, I'm really not sure why
the BARD site is down. Skeleton crews consist of at least a few IT staff,
and it seems odd there is not a single person who can keep an eye on the
servers. Then again, the government is dumb enough to try to rope off
national monuments here in DC that can easily be accessed outside. Red,
blue, they're all a little cray cray.

Good evening everyone,

    Perhaps it's time to privatize the NLS making it immune to government
shutdowns in the future. Bookshare.org and BLIO are our shining stars during
this time so we need not be without books to read.

That entirely depends on when Congress decides to get it's act together. Ask

your representative. :-)
