  9. Pre-pilot • In August of 2013, NLS conducted a pre-pilot for posting DBCs on BARD. • The purpose of the pre-pilot was to refine the requirements and specifications and to test the internal procedures. • We also learned a lot about some of the misconceptions and miscommunications.

  10. Pre-pilot—What we learned • Encryption issues • MIME type • Renaming output • Testing NLS processes • Delivery issues (Fed Google Docs)

  11. Pilot • In March of 2014 NLS announced the pilot. • The purpose of the pilot is two-fold. • Training in processes, technicalities, and requirements for posting audiobooks to BARD • Certification for posting materials to BARD • Three phases of the pilot: • Evaluation • Upload • Verification

  12. Phase 1: Evaluation • Review requirements in NS01 and training materials • Select born-digital audiobook • Receive DBC numbers from BCS • Assign number to book • Fill out and submit catalog Completion Form • Load properly named, protected zip file and unprotected files of book on cartridge • Attend video conference with Phillip Carbo • Send to Chris Mundy to evaluate against the NLS Checklist

  13. Phase 1: Evaluation • Evaluation checklist is divided into two sections: Requirements and Recommendations • Requirements are necessary for posting to BARD • Recommendations are suggestions for improving the quality of your book

  14. Evaluation Checklist Requirements Recommendations Based on NG04 Narration Sound quality Navigation Agreement with print book DTB-naming convention Overall quality • Based on NS01 and NS02 • OPF, NCX, SMIL • Encryption • Zip structure • Naming convention

  15. Phase 2: Upload • Review requirements in NS02 and training materials • Set up a Google account • Regional librarian—send required information to DTBhelp@loc.gov • Ensure proper protection/encryption, zip structure, file name • After access is granted to upload site, upload zip file of book to your library’s folder

  16. Phase 3: Verify • Log into BARD • Go to the Admin Home page • Under the Network-produced material approval pages heading, select the Network-produced material approval tool link • From the approval screen select DBC from the Prefix drop-down menu and/or Awaiting approval from the Status drop-down menu. • Your book will display. Select the link verify [title] in the summary listing of your book • Review the bibliographic data and download the book to verify that it performs as expected • Select Approved from the drop-down menu and select update • Your book is now available to all BARD users

  17. Open Submission • Libraries who are certified by the pilot or pre-pilot process may upload audiobooks at their leisure • With the exception of the evaluation, the steps we have just outlined will be the process you use to submit audiobooks to BARD • Fill out and submit the completion form • Upload properly named, encrypted zip file to the network upload site • Log in to BARD and verify your book

  18. Audio MagazinesWhy are they different? • Magazines do not have catalog records • BARD gets all information from file name and OPF • We will be developing requirements for non-MSCE QA magazines in the near future • 10 network-produced magazines, that have passed the MSCE QA program are currently on BARD

  19. Library Recording Programs • Why have a recording program in your library? • Engaging volunteers • Win/Win • NLS resources • Chris Mundy • Phillip Carbo • NLS studio • Documentation • Audiobook production tools • Now easier and less expensive than ever to digitally record and make DTBs
