[Nfbk] Talking Book Topics & Braille Book Review

[Kevin Pearl]

From the talking book library:

You asked, and NLS listened! The January-February 2014 issue of the bimonthly catalogs, Talking Book Topics (TBT) and Braille Book Review (BBR), will have changes requested by patrons around the country. The longer, 50-word descriptions for each book are back!

Titles will now be arranged in a different order to make finding your favorite types of books much easier:
1) As before, the titles are listed under broad headings: Books for Adults, Books for Children, and Foreign Language Books.
2) Within Books for Adults and Books for Children, titles are subdivided into Fiction and Nonfiction. Fiction will now be listed first, since it comes first alphabetically.
3) Inside the Fiction and Nonfiction genres, titles are listed by their subject categories in A-to-Z order. For example, the Adult Fiction titles for this issue of TBT are ordered by subject from Adventure to Westerns.
4) Within each subject category, the titles are arranged alphabetically by the author’s last name. 
5) If there is more than one title by a given author, the titles are further organized alphabetically by title. 

For example if you are interested in Stephen King’s latest novel Joyland, you would look under Adult Fiction, then in Mystery and Detective, and then for the last name King.

The new arrangement eliminates the need for an index. In addition, the 2013 edition of Digital Talking Books Plus will be the last audiobook catalog produced and the 2011–2012 edition of Braille Books will be the last braille book catalog. The biennial 
For Younger Readers catalog will continue.
