Hi Nancy,
    You kindly sent us info on how to get locally produced  books from the 
Washington State NLS affiliate Talking Books program on Monday  and I 
promised to get back to you and the list on Wolfner's access to Missouri  (and 
other states) local narrated books.  Richard Smith provided  information to me 
in an email - here it is.
Dan

Download Wolfner Library Digital Books from the SHELF  Project 

Wolfner Library is excited to introduce readers to the SHELF Project  which 
offers locally produced Missouri, Massachusetts, Colorado, Kansas,  Braille 
Institute, and Idaho talking books for download. The SHELF Project  (Shared 
Electronic Files) is an online catalog of locally recorded titles  combined 
with the capacity to download these available titles to play on a  Library 
of Congress player or other compatible third-party purchased player  such as 
a Victor Stream, BookSense, PlexTalk Pocket and  others. 
This collection of digital books enhances the National Library Service  
(NLS) collection. Regional recordings are comprised of materials that are  
unique or even one-of-a-kind, providing a rich source of information for  
readers. The goal of this project is simple and straightforward: to make it  
easier for eligible readers to find books, specifically books that may not be  
found in any other way. 
Books may be accessed through Wolfner Library's online catalog,  WolfPAC, 
at _http://wolfpac.sos.mo.gov/klasweb_ (http://wolfpac.sos.mo.gov/klasweb) . 
To download an available title, a WolfPAC User ID and password must be  
used. A user ID is usually the first five letters of the patron's last name  
and the first letter of the patron's first name followed by two digits. This  
code is printed on all mailing cards sent to patrons. (example:Harry Potter  
POTTEH01) Passwords are often the patron's seven digit phone number (no 
area  code). Should there be any problems with login information, please 
contact  Wolfner Library for assistance. 
One of the easiest ways to use the SHELF Project is to browse the  
collection. Go to Patron Information and log in first before beginning a search. 
This will ensure that  when a desired title is found to download, the process 
can takeplace  immediately instead of being prompted to log in and risk 
having to start all  over again. 
Once logged in, go to the Wolfner SHELF link. There are now 1,778 SHELF 
titles in SHELF for download. More titles will be added on a regular  basis. 
When a title of interest is located, more information about that book  is 
available by clicking on the title link. To download the book, scroll to  the 
bottom of the record and click on the Download locally recorded title link. 
Note: Do not click on the Add to Book Basket link. 
After the downloaded link is opened, there will be a prompt to  Open or 
Save the file. Select the Save option.The file name will appear with the title, 
author and book  number followed by .zip. The fi le is a compressed or 
zipped file that will  need to be extracted into its own folder named with the 
title of the book for  easy location, on a cartridge or flash drive to play 
on a  player. 
Please try this new service and enjoy readings recorded by Wolfner  Library 
as well as other network libraries around the  country.
