Many books in the NLS collection are available to eligible readers to download free of charge. Patrons who wish to download digital talking books (DBs) should go to the Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) web site at https://nlsbard.loc.gov and select “BARD application instructions” and then “Link to BARD application.” Select “other” as your library, complete the application, and then select “Submit” to receive a user ID (your e-mail address) and a password. For instructions on how to download books or magazines, visit https://nlsbard.loc.gov/NLS/instructions.html#How_to_download_a_ book_or_magazine. If you need further assistance, contact the overseas librarian by e-mail at raj@loc.gov.
Patrons who are downloading digital books are encouraged to retain their cassette players in order to access the sixty thousand cassette books in the NLS collection.
Two types of digital players are available from NLS: a standard player and an advanced player. Both players are 6 x 9 x 2 inches, in comparison with the cassette book machine (C-1), which is 9 x 11 x 3 inches. The weight of the digital talking-book player is slightly more than two pounds compared to the C-1’s seven pounds. The standard and advanced models both have power, rewind, play, fast-forward, sleep, and volume buttons that feature raised edges and a braille letter on the player’s surface for identification. The advanced model has additional buttons for setting and retrieving bookmarks and for navigating through the structured levels of a book.
Readers of fiction will likely prefer the standard model while those who read nonfiction or need to navigate to particular parts of books may prefer an advanced model. Please let the overseas librarian know as soon as possible which machine you would like to receive. The digital players can be used only in 110-volt current. Patrons who have 220-volt current should ask the overseas librarian for a transformer.
Executive Products Inc., Sylmar, California, has created a water-resistant case that will hold either of the NLS digital talking-book players. The case is made of faux leather and fits snuggly over both the advanced and standard models. Cartridges can be loaded and the player’s buttons accessed by opening a Velcro flap on the front of the case. The case also comes with a shoulder strap and a hand strap and has a zipped storage compartment that holds up to three digital talking-book cartridges.
The case is $39.99 and may be purchased at http://executiveproductsinc.com/ 
(select “Executive NLS/BPH case”)
or by phone at 818-833-8822. It may also be purchased from Adaptive Technology, a division of Perkins Products, at http://support.perkins.org (select “Buy Perkins Products” and then “Talking Book Accessories”), or call (978) 462-3817.
Digital books available on cartridges are identified in the NLS catalogs by the prefix “DB.” When ordering digital books from the online catalog, patrons should use this prefix (DB) with the five-digit book number (e.g., DB 98765). Please do not order a book that has the note “may be available only for download” next to the book number. These books are not presently available on cartridges but may be accessed through BARD.
When ordering from Talking Book Topics carefully mark RC for cassette books and DB for digital books corresponding to the number on the left column in the order form at the back of the magazine.

Each issue of Overseas Outlook includes a bibliography on a subject that may be of interest to NLS patrons. This issue features selected titles from the NLS collection that are listed in the minibibliography Dogs: Care and Feeding. To receive any of the books in this bibliography, complete the order form at the end of the newsletter and return it to the overseas librarian.
The dog was the first animal to be domesticated and for centuries people have depended on their canine friends for company, protection, hunting, herding, and tracking. Historically these animals have also been part of human households. Their fossilized remains were found with humans at an archaeological site in Germany dating back fourteen thousand years.
Early ancestors of the dog probably gravitated toward human settlements seeking food, and people came to tolerate them. A mutual dependence developed, and people began to breed dogs for specific characteristics that eventually led to the variety of breeds we now know.
Some dogs, such as guide dogs and signal dogs, assist people who have a variety of disabling conditions and therapy dogs help to raise the spirits of people who are hospitalized or housebound. Watchdogs protect homes and businesses and detection dogs sniff out drugs or explosives. Most modern canines are kept as pets.
Numerous issues are associated with the care of all dogs, whether they are house pets or highly trained breeds providing a professional service. This minibibliography lists the adult and juvenile materials in the NLS collection that offer general information about the care, feeding, and training of dogs.
