Through the Library of Congress free reading program, individuals who are blind and physically handicapped across the nation and Americans living abroad borrow recorded and Braille books and magazines. Eligible borrowers may also get special playback machines and accessories. This reading service is administered by the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) through a nationwide network of cooperating libraries.
Volunteer groups, individual transcribers, and nonprofit and commercial organizations produce a wide variety of additional braille, recorded, and large-print material for readers who are visually and physically handicapped. They may transcribe such varied items as a textbook for a college student, a series of Supreme Court decisions for a lawyer, or a best-selling novel for a general reader. Such contributions help make print- handicapped readers' access to reading material comparable to that of the print-reading public.
This directory lists the names of volunteer groups, individual transcribers, and nonprofit and commercial organizations who transcribe and record books and other reading materials for persons who are blind and physically handicapped. It was compiled from information supplied by organizations and groups who perform these services.
The listing is alphabetical by state. Each entry is assigned an index number and specifies such services as Braille transcription, computer-assisted transcription, print enlargements, tape recording, duplication, and binding. Entries also give such braille code specialties as music, mathematics, and specific languages. The directory contains information in separate sections on state special education contacts and proofreaders certified by the Library of Congress. Wherever braille groups are listed it is our understanding that there is at least one transcriber or proofreader certified by the Library of Congress working with the group/organization.
Sources of Custom-Produced Books: Braille, Audio Recordings, and Large Print is available in large-print and Braille formats and can be provided on computer diskette upon direct request from the Reference Section. It is also available on the NLS web site at <www.loc.gov/nls/reference/directories.html>.
Other related documents on the NLS web site or available
upon request include the following:
Braille Literacy: Resources for Instruction, Writing Equipment, and Supplies , Reference Circular 95-1, < www.loc.gov/nls/reference/circulars/brailleliteracy.html >. This circular lists sources of braille writing equipment and supplies.

It is also available upon request from the Music Section, National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, Library of Congress, Washington, DC 20542.
Guidelines for Accessing Alternative Format Educational Materials , < www.loc.gov/nls/guidelines.htm >. These guidelines discuss numerous factors involved with access to alternative format educational materials for eligible students, their parents, or educators. They cover federal, state, and local laws that address disability services.
Library Resources for the Blind and Physically Handicapped , annual, < www.loc.gov/nls/reference/directories/resources2000.html >. This directory gives a profile of each cooperating library in the NLS network. It lists book formats, special collections, and the various services available from each. It also describes other library resources at the national level.
Following are additional resources for materials available in alternative formats:
The American Printing House for the Blind (APH) currently houses a database called Louis: Database of Accessible Materials for People Who are Blind or Visually Impaired . Louis contains information about braille, large print, sound recordings, and computer files from over 200 agencies throughout the United States. Contact:
American Printing House for the Blind (APH)APH will also enlarge materials if they are not already available. There is a single fee for items under 100 pages and a per print page cost for items over 100 pages. To estimate your cost, count all pages, including title pages, glossaries, indices, etc., because APH will enlarge the entire work. The turnaround time is 8-12 weeks.
The thermoform machine is used to produce multiple copies from handcopied braille masters, on brailon, and on braillabels. For information, including prices and descriptive literature on this equipment and about brailon or braillabels, contact:
American Thermoform CorporationGroups, individuals, and organizations who produce reading materials for blind and physically handicapped persons and are not listed in this directory are invited to submit information for future editions. Organizations and individuals included should report changes or corrections of contact persons, addresses, and services performed. Suggestions for improving the directory are also welcome. Send all communications to the Volunteer Specialist at the NLS Reference Section.
Using This Directory Volunteer groups, individual transcribers, and nonprofit and commercial organizations produce almost any kind of reading material one might need. If you want to obtain reading material not available through the Library of Congress program or other programs described in the introduction to this directory, contact the chairperson of one of these groups and organizations listed. You may request that print material be transcribed, recorded, or prepared in large print. Fee structures will vary widely depending on the format requested and the service providers. The cost should be confirmed each time service is requested.

To locate a group with a particular capability, consult the following alphabetical index. Because almost every volunteer group can braille general works, neither "braille" nor "literary" appears as an index heading, although "recording" and "large print" do. The references listed under each heading are the index numbers assigned to volunteer groups in the body of the directory. They consist of an abbreviation for the name of the state in which the group works, followed by a number indicating the order in which the group appears within the state listing. In the volunteers section, groups are listed alphabetically by state, alphabetically by city within the state, and alphabetically by organization within the city. In the index, the numbers under each capability are grouped by format: braille, recording, and large print. Please report omissions or corrections for future editions.
