Tek Talk welcomes Don Olson and Zhi Huang of NLS to discuss the new BARD website. 06/17/2024
The BARD website has recently been updated to offer NLS patrons expanded functionality and will serve as a gateway to expanded services in the future. NLS patrons are able to search for and discover BARD books and magazines better than ever before. Some of the features of the new website include: • A reorganization of the Wish List, Reading History, Subscriptions, and Account Settings under one menu. • Book lists such as Recently Added Books and Magazines, Most Popular Downloads, and Wish Lists have new sorting capabilities, patrons can search through these lists, and refine the results by format, language, and subject. • BARD uses an updated Solar search engine, so finding books is now easier than ever before. • Perform Advanced searches to look through the catalog, including the world’s largest Braille music collection. Join Don Olson and Zhi Huang from NLS for a demonstration of the new BARD website!
