<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Library of Congress’ National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) is developing a Digital Braille Music Repository. NLS is looking for pioneer contributors to help create the most comprehensive digital braille
music repository in the world. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If your institution works with digital braille sheet music, NLS would appreciate your input. Please complete the short survey at:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RZHDV28"><span style="color:windowtext">https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RZHDV28</span></a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It takes less than 5 minutes, and your responses will help NLS design the best repository possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please share this information with anyone you know who is involved in transcribing sheet music into Braille, and if you have questions about the repository project, please feel free to contact me directly.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your help! <o:p></o:p></p>
