[Nfbc-info] BARD Service Down

[Michael Hingson]

We can send comments, but I suspect they know and are just as anxious as we. Even so, people can comment if they think more pressure will help.

As I understand it BARD isn't the problem, but rather overall Library of Congress server maintenance. 


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson

Is there anything as patrons of the library that we can do to ensure that our axis is restored? Do we need to make phone calls or send emails to ensure that the communication channels no that denying the blind and print disabled community access to books is a huge problem. Please tell us how we can help.
