In Celebration of Kansas Talking Books week… Announcing the Talking Books Librarian Blog!
March 5th, 2008 | Permalink | Comment?

Since we here in Kansas are currently celebrating the first ever Talking Books week (March 3 – 8), I thought it would be the perfect time to share a great “Talking Books” resource with you! It’s called the Talking Books Librarian blog! Check it out at http://talkingbookslibrarian.blogspot.com/

I started the blog several months ago, to help make people more aware of resources available for older adults and those with disabilities, as well as to promote the free Talking Books program by the Library of Congress! The blog also includes everything from library “stuff,” to books, to general public resources I come across.

Happy Talking Books week to all of you!!!

Hi everyone! My name is Jaime Prideaux, and I am the Talking Books and Special Needs Consultant for the Southeast Kansas Library System. I will be posting on occasion about issues related to Talking Books, special needs, and other disability related resources. For my first post here, I want to mention a cool online service known as Talkr.

Would you like to listen to audio versions of the new posts of your favorite blogs? Then give Talkr.com a try! Talkr lets you listen to any (or all!) of your blog subscriptions. You can search through the Talkr “database” to see if the blogs you already subscribe to are part of Talkr. If they’re not, it’s very easy to add them. All it takes is a few minutes to set up your subscriptions, and then you can immediately begin listening to them online. In addition, Talkr automatically updates itself with the new posts from all your favorite blogs. If you are a blog author, it is also easy to set up Talkr on your blog, so that all your readers can use Talkr via your blog. You can even use Talkr to convert text-only blogs into podcasts! This is a great (and free!) resource to share with your patrons, especially those with low vision! Check it out at http://talkr.com/
