to pass it along.

Hi Bonnie,

I thought that this might be of interest to some NFB-Alaska folks.  I think
it might be a great opportunity if you know of any BARD power users with
some time available.

NLS Wants Your Input for Technology Products and Initiatives! The NLS
Reading Technology Advisory Group (RTAG) needs new members! RTAG meets twice
a year to provide feedback on new NLS products and initiatives. Currently,
RTAG is focused on updates to BARD, the braille eReader project, and a
"smart speaker" voice-controlled device. Each of these initiatives will have
its own working group within RTAG. Meetings-to be attended online-will
resume in fall 2020. Although RTAG members can be network library staff,
hardware repair volunteers, and other subject matter experts, NLS patrons
are especially encouraged to apply to join RTAG. For questions, please
contact your local network library or email questions directly to
NLS-RTAG at loc.gov<mailto:NLS-RTAG at loc.gov>. Applications-a statement of your
background and qualifications (no more than two pages)-should be submitted
to NLS-RTAG at loc.gov<mailto:NLS-RTAG at loc.gov> by Wednesday, September 30.

Freya
