NLS: That All May Read

Network Digital Planning - Module 2: Application (Whittall)

Revised: 12/31/08-rev 10

Revise and update NLS individual application twice–first for the interim and then for the new digital program. This includes revising the factsheet on playback machines to delete record player for the interim, and another revision of the factsheet to reflect the availability of digital talking-book machines and to accompany the new digital program individual application. If it is determined to be necessary, the interim individual application/factsheet should be translated into Spanish. The digital program's individual application and digital factsheet on playback machines will be translated into Spanish. Work with PMS on the content revisions, translations, and printing. PMS has requested that we sequence the application production to work on one product at a time.
