HOMERecording for the Blind & Dyslexic Launches DAISY Book Distribution Nationwide in the United States
RFB&D is now making DAISY digital titles available to 102,000 students of all ages.
On September 3, 2002, Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic (RFB&D) made more than 6,000 DAISY titles available to more than 102,000 students of all ages. Based in Princeton, New Jersey, RFB&D is the first organization in the United States to begin distributing DAISY audio titles on such a large scale. These digital titles, known as RFB&D's AudioPlus(tm) collection, have been added to the organization's master library which already contains approximately 91,000 titles.
The DAISY standard is certainly being embraced. RFB&D received orders for more than 1,000 titles, more than 400 stand-alone playback machines, and 200 playback software packages in the first ten days after the launch date!
