[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Cathy;
See messages below and see if you can explain why bookshair will not work on NLS.  I thought he would tell me.  What format do they come in?  I thought the stream could also play them.  Can I use Kurzweil 1000?

Bookshare books do not have an audio recording with them, so the NLS player cannot play them.  They can be read on a computer, using its web browser.
