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. <strong>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. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">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.</span></p><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAJEAAP///wAAAAAAAAAAACH5BAkAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAgEAAEEBAA7" width="1" height="1" alt="Web Bug from https://lnks.gd/o/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWJzY3JpYmVyX2lkIjozMDEwODUwNzY5LCJ1cmkiOiJicDI6ZGlnZXN0IiwiZW1haWwiOiJkZWVsbTI3QHlhaG9vLmNvbSIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyNDAxMTkuODg4MzY3MjEifQ.d3i3MZHOMLr1V-N35tRUVA2wY8pDk1vEUxQcZ0R00TA" />
