[Nfbmo] In answer to Nancy Lyn: Fwd: Wolfner SHELF Program

Nancy,
    I don't think so - at least not as easily.  I know  that this 
consortium is trying to expand to other states but so far, just  residents of the 
states below have access.
    There may be the equivalent of library loan  available.  I'll see what 
I can find out for you.

Is this  download program available to people in other states the way 
Washington's  is?

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.
