Online Catalog

              The Illinois State Library Talking Book and Braille Service (TBBS) offers an online public cat-alog
and book order site at www.klas.com/ilbph. Readers enrolled in the National Library
Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped program can place a book order 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. Most Internet browser assistive technology devices can read the
online catalog. Although the site can be viewed by anyone, the following procedures must
be followed to order books:
1. Call or e-mail your local Talking Book Center (see list below). A user ID and password will
be assigned; without these, you cannot place a book order.
2. Go to the catalog site at www.klas.com/ilbph.
3. Search for books by author, title, subject, narrator, series, book number or annotation keyword.
4. After selecting your books, submit your request. Your user ID and password must be used
at this point to place an order.
Each time a reader submits a list of books, the automated system will attempt to mail three
books the next business day. Any remaining titles will be placed on reserve and sent as
soon as a copy is available. A book placed on a request list will be sent some time in the
future. The online catalog recognizes the status of each book ordered.
You will eventually get every book ordered. The computer will not monitor subject matter,
nor limit the number of books ordered.
For more information, please call Sharon Russwinkel at 800-665-5576, opt. 5.
