NLS Launches Braille-on-Demand Pilot Project


Readers may be interested in the below announcement from the US:

As part of its braille modernization initiative, NLS is launching the
Braille-on-Demand pilot project on Monday, June 20, 2022. This project will
allow active NLS patrons to request and receive one hard-copy braille title
per month, which they can retain for their personal use. If an individual
who is not registered as a patron submits an order, NLS will refer the
individual to their local network library to begin the process of becoming a
patron.

Braille titles will be limited to books that are currently available on
BARD, the NLS Braille and Audio Reading Download service. At this time,
requests are limited to one book per patron per month. Only complete titles
will be distributed. Requests for partial titles (for example, volume one of
a three-volume book) will result in receiving the entire book.

The form to request a braille-on-demand book can be found linked from
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NLSbrailleondemand. Patrons may complete the
form themselves or contact their network library for assistance. They may
also contact NLS Reference at
<https://www.braillists.org/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#513f3d22233437113d3e3
27f363e27> [email protected] for assistance in completing the form.
