>Subject: NLS Launches Web-Braille
>
>Web-Braille, NLS's new system for distributing braille books via
>the Internet, is now ready for use. Grade 2 braille books are
>available for download or online use by eligible individuals,
>libraries, and schools with braille embossers, refreshable
>braille displays, and other braille-aware devices. To retrieve
>Web-Braille files, you can use whatever braille equipment and
>browser you are most comfortable with.
>
>At the moment, Web-Braille contains 2,672 braille books beginning
>with BR8827. NLS will continue to add new books to Web-Braille
>as the press copies are approved for shipment. You can access
>these new books through the online version of Braille Book Review
>(BBR). Beginning with the July/August, 1999 issue, BBR will
>include links to the Web-Braille versions of titles listed.
>
>To get a user ID for Web-Braille, contact the library that
>handles your braille magazine subscriptions. You will be asked
>to select a password and provide an e-mail address. If I can answer
>any questions or assist in any way, please contact me.
