[Nfbmt] Utah NFB Library Card

[Bruce&Joy Breslauer]

Announcing the 2015 NFB Library Card

This is the 2015 Revision of the NFB Library Card. Revision date June 15,
2015.
 
Additions:
1. This is an 8 gig SD card. Last year's Library card fit on a 4 gig SD
card. With all the additional material in this year's revision, there is now
less than half a gig of unused space on this 8 gig card.
2. This revision contains professional recordings of the last 10 years of
the Annual Conventions of the National Federation of the Blind.  
3. This revision contains 50 live recordings of our beloved NFB Songs. 
4. This revision contains the Kernel Books in live mp3 audio format, with
each Kernel Book in its own folder. These Kernel Book recordings have been
recently digitized from cassette, by our National Office. Previous revisions
of the Library card made use of partially synthesized recordings.
5. New folders have been added for Mark Riccobono containing both live
recordings of his recent speeches and text articles with speeches and bio
information.
6. Numerous speeches and articles have been added to many of the existing
folders such as the Jacobus tenBroek, Kenneth Jernigan, Marc Maurer, Parents
of Blind Children, Schroeder, miscellaneous,, and others.
7. A new folder has been added with Materials for Blind Parents.
8. A new folder has been added for materials in Spanish from the NFB of
Puerto Rico.
9. A new folder has been added, entitled, "So You Don't See As Well As You
Used To", containing material for older people who are experiencing
declining vision.
10. A Newsletter article has been added, from 1940, reporting on the
Organizing meeting of the National Federation of the Blind in Wilksbarre,
Pennsylvania, on November 16, 1940. It was published by the Pennsylvania
Federation in the Winter 1940 edition of their newsletter, entitled, "We Are
The Blind". 
 
Of course this 2015 NFB Library Card also contains all of the items in our
previous versions, including, but not limited to:
1. All available banquet speeches by Jacobus tenBroek, Kenneth Jernigan and
Marc Maurer, going back to 1952. These speeches are in live mp3 audio, as
well as in text, to allow for doing word searches, and cutting and pasting
into other documents.
2. Five DAISY books with Enhanced Navigation, allowing for more efficient
access to important parts of these books. These books include "Walking Alone
and Marching Together", Kenneth Jernigan, The Master, The Mission, The
Movement, narrated by Marc Maurer; and "Freedom for the Blind, The Secret is
Empowerment" by James H. Omvig.
3. There are literally hundreds of other books, articles, speeches and
documents, arranged into folders by subject, for easier access. These
folders include, Parents of Blind Children, Materials for Blind Parents,
Students, and for Leaders of local chapter and state affiliates of the
National Federation of the Blind. 
4. There are folders of important historical documents such as the minutes
of the original organizing meeting of the National Federation of the Blind
held in Wilksbarre, Pennsylvania in 1940, a 4-part series of interviews with
Newell Perry, teacher and mentor of Jacobus tenBroek, and the live mp3 audio
of the speech Jacobus tenBroek gave at the funeral of Newell Perry.
