Greetings from the NLS Music Section! We have a short but sweet post for you this month, music lovers. NLS recently migrated to a new online catalog platform, and we temporarily paused our cataloging and uploads to BARD to facilitate the transition. We are now operating in our new catalog environment, so you can expect more new additions to BARD in July. You are welcome to browse the new online catalog using the following link: https://nlscatalog.loc.gov/.
For more information about getting started with using BARD, please visit the following page: Sign up for BARD and Accessing BARD.
You can also borrow the materials listed below by mail, not only through BARD. Simply contact the Music Section to borrow talking books on digital cartridge or embossed copies of braille music. Call us at 800-424-8567, extension 2, or e-mail us at [email protected].
