Starting on Thursday, May 22, and lasting through Wednesday, June 4, new books and magazines added to BARD will temporarily not display all their information, including the narrator and reading time. To be clear, new titles added to BARD during this time will be available for you to read; however, some information about them will not be displayed. After June 4, NLS will begin adding information about the narrator and reading time to these new titles. It may be as long as two weeks before all the new titles have that information.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Thank you for your understanding as NLS continues to make updates to improve your service.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Your Patron Engagement Team</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>David Goldfield,</span><br><span>Blindness Assistive Technology Specialist</span><br><span></span><br><span>www.DavidGoldfield.com</span><br><span></span><br><span>Director of Marketing,</span><br><span>Blazie Technologies</span><br><span>www.BlazieTech.com</span><br><span></span><br><span>Am Yisrael Chai</span><br><span>The Nation of Israel Lives!</span><br><span></span><br><span>NVDA Certified Expert</span><br><span></span><br><span>Subscribe to the Tech-VI announcement list to receive blindness technology news, events and information.</span><br><span>Email: tech-vi+subscribe@groups.io</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</span><br><span>Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.</span><br><span>View/Reply Online (#9315): https://groups.io/g/tech-vi/message/9315</span><br><span>Mute This Topic: https://groups.io/mt/113196940/9139994</span><br><span>Group Owner: tech-vi+owner@groups.io</span><br><span>Unsubscribe: https://groups.io/g/tech-vi/leave/14047994/9139994/87914265/xyzzy [lonnie.t.swafford@gmail.com]</span><br><span>-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
