Great - thanks for the info on the phone lines - didn't realize they had a  
limit on that.

I called the  phone number, and they said they've filled all their phone 
interview slots  but would call me back if an opening becomes available. 
However, I filled  it out online, and it worked just fine.

Hi  Federationists,
There have been 2 posts regarding the customer survey  being  conducted
by the NLS.  I want to add a further note urging you  to  take part.   I'm
speaking here not as a member of the  Wolfner  Advisory Board but simply as
an
enthusiastic Wolfner  reader.
And possibly a little paranoid, given all  the  news about budget
issues, but... what the heck... humor me,   please?

A high participation in this survey  will  allow NLS to report to
Congress that there is great interest in  their services  by their customers
(us).    Programs that  were once considered  completely safe  now seem to 
be

fair  game for the chopping  block.  Recall that it wasn't that long ago  
that
we
had to fight hard to  stop Congress from cutting off funds  to complete the
transition from tape  cassettes to the digital  format.  Though there is no
talk that I know of  seeking to cut  NLS, we can never be complacent.
Helping NLS with  feedback can help them to  offer more services more
efficiently, thus  offering more and better service at  less cost -  
something

everyone likes to hear.  So take the time to call  NLS  at the number listed
below to give your 2 cents - cheap for the  value  received, yes?
I return you now to your  regularly scheduled BARD  digital book.
