Subject: [Nfbnet-members-list] Audio books survey

Hi All,
I am a long time member of the NFB of NJ, as well as the president of the
New Jersey Association of Blind Students. I am currently working as a
research assistant at New York University sponsored by the NSF, researching
the history of audio books and materials. It would be hugely helpful if you
could fill out this survey below and let us know your feedback on audio
materials. Researching audio materials not only helps to advance knowledge,
but it also preserve a piece of the history of the blind. Thanks for your
time. Let me know if you have any other questions about our work or if you
would like to chat.

We are conducting research on the history of Talking Books, especially
records and cassettes. We are interested in people's experiences with the
technology and with aural reading. Thank you for taking a few moments to
answer the questions below. Brief or long responses are equally welcome!

1. Which Talking Books have been particularly memorable to you?

2. What did you like or dislike about the narrators? Were certain
characteristics of voice or pacing important to you?

3. Have you listened to things besides books in Talking Book format, such as
letters or announcements or described films?

4. Any reflections on the technology itself, especially early model Talking
Book record players or cassette machines?

5. Before home computing, did you engage in other forms of aural reading,
for instance radio reading or optophones?

6. Any other notable experiences with reading Talking Books that you would
like to share?

7. May we quote your responses in any articles we write? If so, would you
like to be quoted anonymously or by name?

8. Finally, if you have any antique devices or historical recordings that
you would be willing to share information about with us, please contact
