30, 2007 marked the final transition to an all-digital library.
Beginning July 1, 2007 (beginning of FY08), analog books are considered
archived titles and will not be counted as part of the total number
of titles in our library.

from the results of the "2004-2005 Gallup Market Segmentation
Study."
3 The
number of members with multiple disabilities is calculated from
the results of the "2004-2005 Gallup Market Segmentation
study" which reported data from our members on types of disabilities
being served.

in the production of new recorded texts.
