This diskette contains two publications, Braille Book Review and
Talking Book Topics, published by the National Library Service
for the Blind and Physically Handicapped.  These bimonthly
publications list special-format books available to eligible
readers through a national network of cooperating libraries.   

The files are pure ASCII text files.  Each file contains the In
Brief section, the book listings complete with annotation, and a
magazine listing.  The files can be read by most DOS or Windows
word processing, editing, or spreadsheet software.  Check your
program's documentation for specific instructions on how to read
ASCII (DOS) text files. 

During 1996 this product is being offered to gauge interest in
the format.  During a one-year period, you will continue to
receive the format of Braille Book Review or Talking Book Topics
to which you currently subscribe along with the computer diskette
edition.   

Persons who subscribe to this diskette edition may suggest
changes or improvements by writing to: Publications and Media
Section, National Library Service for the Blind and Physically
Handicapped, Washington, DC  20542 or by e-mail to nls@loc.gov. 
At the end of the pilot period, your suggestions will be used to
help evaluate the usefulness of and interest in this product.
