NLS provides cumulative listings of cassette and Braille titles produced in a particular year. In the current year they publish bimonthly catalogs containing the current releases. Talking Book Topics is for books on cassette and Braille Book Review is for books in Braille. These two catalogs are available in alternative formats as well as on computer diskette. You may review them electronically at our website or the following websites:

BR = Braille Books

DB = Digital Talking Book

RC = Recorded Cassette

CC = Colorado Collection (specific to CTBL collection)

PR = Large Print Books (specific to CTBL collection)

VO = Descriptive Video (specific to CTBL collection)

Not every book is available in every format
