[Nfbmd] FW: READER'S DIGEST AND NEWSWEEK

[Chris Nusbaum]

All,

After reading the below message when it was sent to all patrons of the
library, I wrote to Molyne Honor because I was unclear on how to access
these magazines. She tells me they are not available from BARD, but must be
downloaded directly through APH. To do this, you would click on the
"Magazine Subscriptions" link in the email from APH or visit www.aph.org.
Just providing this information in case anyone else was unclear on this.

Who is Eligible to Download Newsweek and Reader's Digest in DTB Format?


Patrons of the National Library Service (NLS) are eligible to download
Reader's Digest and Newsweek in Digital Talking Book (DTB) format. If you
are not a patron, visit the NLS website at http://www.loc.gov/nls and follow
the instructions there.


What Player is Needed?


To play downloadable magazines, you must have a Digital Talking Book player
that has been authorized by NLS. In addition, you must have a computer from
which to download the magazines.

Computers and commercial mp3 players will not play these magazines. The
magazines are encrypted to protect the content from unauthorized use.

If you are using the NLS player, you must also have either a flash drive or
a blank NLS cartridge and a cable to connect that cartridge to the computer.
(Both blank cartridges
