<div><span>Here's the announcement from NLS BARD Technical Support about the release of</span><br><span>the BARD Mobile app.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Alan Lemly</span><br><span></span><br><span>-----Original Message-----</span><br>
<span>From: NLS BARD Technical Support [<a href="mailto:BARD-SUPPORT@LISTSERV.LOC.GOV">mailto:BARD-SUPPORT@LISTSERV.LOC.GOV</a>] On</span><br><span>Behalf Of NLSDownload</span><br><span>Sent: Friday, September 20, 2013 8:42 AM</span><br>
<span>To: <a href="mailto:BARD-SUPPORT@LISTSERV.LOC.GOV">BARD-SUPPORT@LISTSERV.LOC.GOV</a></span><br><span>Subject: [BARD-Support] Welcome to BARD Mobile</span><br><span></span><br><span>Dear List Members,</span><br><span></span><br>
<span>We are excited to tell you that the BARD mobile iOS app is out! There are</span><br><span>several things which we thought those of you interested in the app would</span><br><span>want to know before you download it, and things you might want to do in</span><br>
<span>order to ensure that you'll be able to use the app right away without</span><br><span>frustration.</span><br><span></span><br><span>BARD Mobile will work on any iOS device running iOS 4.3.3 or later. This</span><br>
<span>includes the iPhone 3GS and all later iPhones, all iPads, and fourth</span><br><span>generation or later iPod touches. If you have one of these devices, be sure</span><br><span>it is running iOS 4.3.3 or later.</span><br>
<span></span><br><span>You can't use a temporary password when logging onto BARD from the app, so</span><br><span>be sure you have a working BARD username and permanent password before you</span><br><span>attempt to log in with BARD Mobile. The app also will not work if you need</span><br>
<span>to agree to the BARD pledge. If you have a temporary password, log into the</span><br><span>BARD website at</span><br><span><a href="https://nlsbard.loc.gov">https://nlsbard.loc.gov</a></span><br><span>to create a new password. And even if you have a working password, it's a</span><br>
<span>good idea to log into the website and take the pledge if requested. Note</span><br><span>that you can log into the BARD website using Safari on an iOS device if you</span><br><span>like.</span><br><span></span><br><span>The BARD Mobile app allows you to download items from the Recently Added</span><br>
<span>Books and Recently Added Magazines sections of the BARD site and from your</span><br><span>wish list. So if there are books you know you're going to want to read right</span><br><span>away, add them to your wish list. It is also easy to add books to your wish</span><br>
<span>list from within BARD Mobile because when you browse the site either from</span><br><span>within the app or from Safari on your iOS device, the Download link</span><br><span>following every book title changes to an Add to Wish List link.</span><br>
<span></span><br><span>BARD Mobile must be open while books are downloading; if you switch to a</span><br><span>different app, downloading will stop. Also, the screen must be unlocked</span><br><span>throughout the download process.</span><br>
<span></span><br><span>We encourage you to take a look at the BARD Mobile user guide. You can find</span><br><span>it at</span><br><span><a href="https://nlsbard.loc.gov/apidocs/BARDMobile.userguide.iOS.1.0.html">https://nlsbard.loc.gov/apidocs/BARDMobile.userguide.iOS.1.0.html</a>.</span><br>
<span>The manual is also available in the app, in the Help section of the BARD</span><br><span>Mobile bookshelf.</span><br><span></span><br><span>If you want to read braille books with BARD Mobile, you'll need a braille</span><br>
<span>display. Be sure to read Section 7 of the user guide, as it explains how to</span><br><span>configure your display and provides keystrokes that make reading braille a</span><br><span>smooth experience.</span><br><span></span><br>
<span>If you have BARD books or magazines on your computer, you can use iTunes</span><br><span>file sharing or Dropbox to load them into BARD Mobile. Load them as zip</span><br><span>files; BARD Mobile will unpack them automatically. When you open a talking</span><br>
<span>book or magazine that you have loaded in this way for the first time, be</span><br><span>sure BARD Mobile has access to the Internet, as the app will need to</span><br><span>download an authorization file from the BARD website. This step is not</span><br>
<span>necessary for braille files.</span><br><span></span><br><span>This should be enough info to get you started. Enjoy the app!</span><br><span></span><br><span>Sincerely,</span><br><span>The BARD Technical Support Team</span><br>
