Machine Instructional Video
- This video provides some basic instructions
for using the cassette player. Geared toward new users of the service,
it provides some basic information about both cassette players and books
on tape, and clearly explains how to insert a tape and use the different
buttons and switches on the cassette player.
The video is in Flash format and is set up so that you can watch
either the entire video (about 12 minutes) or just the specific segments
that interest you. An audio-only version is also available.
The video was created by the Long Island Talking Book Library.

The National Library Service is switching from cassettes to
flash cards for Talking Books. The first books on flash cards, and
the machines to play them, will become available sometime in 2008.
Although new books will be produced only on flash cards, books already
on cassette will still be available for some time to come. (See NLS/BPH
