- [Announcer] BARD Express.
Transferring Materials to a Cartridge.
- Hi, I'm Judy Dixon, consumer
relations officer at NLS.
In this edition of the BARD
Express How-To Series,
I'm going to cover transferring materials
to a cartridge or other storage device.
From the BARD Express main
menu, select Bookshelf.
You will be presented with a list
of the types of materials
that are on your computer
that you have downloaded from BARD.
The contents of your bookshelf
can be sorted by subject or author.
Note that the default organization
is by type, in alphabetical order,
followed by the number of
titles in each category.
All Books and Magazines, Audio Books,
Audio Magazines, Braille
Books, Braille Magazines,
Read Items, and Unread Items.
To sort your titles by subject,
select Subject from the dropdown menu.
All the titles on your bookshelf
will resort by subject
in alphabetical order.
To sort by author, select
Author from the dropdown menu.
All your titles will resort
by author's last name
in alphabetical order.
In this demonstration, we will go back
to Titles sorted by type.
Select Unread Items to access
the titles on your bookshelf,
which you have not
transferred to cartridge.
Choose the title you wish to read
and select the Copy to Cartridge button.
A dialogue box will open.
Choose the drive letter
that your cartridge or USB
flash drive is connected to
and select the OK button.
While the book is transferring,
BARD Express is locating
the downloaded title
unzipping the file and copying the title
to your cartridge.
No more unzipping files,
no more lost books on your computer.
BARD Express handles all of this for you.
When the transfer is complete,
BARD Express will ask you
if you would like to eject the drive.
If so, choose the Yes button
and then disconnect the
cartridge from your computer.
Connect it to a digital
player for audio titles
or a refreshable braille
display for braille titles
and enjoy your book.
