The Librarians'
Quest: Transforming the Printed Word So That
All May Read
In the past, brave souls would go on quests, trying to win assistance and
equality for people who deserved it. It's good
to know that's still happening today. Bands of librarians are toiling to make
printed works more accessible for the impaired by seeking better formats for
audiobooks. Here, they share their tales of success as well as word of what they
haven't yet been able to overcome.

Library News with a Blog
Have you decided to join the blogging craze?
You can buy software packages to start Web logs,
or rent server space, but you can also build
your own if you want something customized. Like

authors did, use their experience to guide your
building plan.
