[NFBofSC] New Download Limits

[Steve Cook]

All:

 

In an additional step to safeguard the NLS collection from improper use,
beginning February 6, 2024, patrons will be allowed to download from
<https://nlsbard.loc.gov/nlsbardprod/login/NLS> BARD no more than 250 books
and magazines in any rolling thirty-day period. This includes both audio and
braille titles across all platforms. It does not matter which platform or
combination of platforms are used to download them. A patron may download no
more than 250 books and magazines in any rolling thirty-day period
regardless of the format or the BARD interface used. 

For example, a person could download 30 ebraille books using the NLS Braille
eReader, 70 audio magazines via the BARD website, and 150 audio and braille
books via the BARD Mobile app, reaching the thirty-day limit of 250.
Likewise, a patron only using BARD Mobile to download books and magazines
would also be limited to 250 titles in a rolling thirty-day period.

The authorization limit is calculated by adding up the number of "unique
titles" downloaded. This means a patron could download the same title on
additional devices in that same thirty-day period without that download
counting against the authorization limit.
