Libraries for the Blind and Print Disabled

I am not sure if this is worth doing, but I thought it'd be nice to see which RCs have yet to be converted to DB. I'm sure someone at the NLS could create this information more quickly than I can, but I don't want to pester anyone for it. I have been going through our (Minnesota's) in-house BARD collection to see which DBs we do not have. After noting the missing numbers, I look them up via Keyword searches in Voyager.

Another way of looking at this project is as an attempt to explain unused DB numbers.

Because this is a time-consuming process I am not going to spend much time prettying-up my findings. I will just post the book number, title, and author. Subtitles will rarely be added.

I will try to delete titles listed herein as they are posted to BARD.

I have started with the 60,000s because they are largely available. As I go backwards (towards the 00,0000s), I suspect it would be easier to list the books we have rather than the ones missing.

Anyone who is up for it can join in on the fun!
