the web site (<a href="http://www.loc.gov/nls">www.loc.gov/nls</a>), I
routinely select the “search the catalog” link. From there I select the
“multiple” link, which gives us the opportunity to type as many as three search
terms. A combo box allows us to designate the nature of each term.
For instance, we can choose “music” as a key word and “web braille” as a key
word.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><u1:p> </u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">To

Methodist hymnal can be borrowed in hard copy from NLS. These eight
precious volumes were originally embossed by the American Printing House for
the Blind, <st1:place u4:st="on"><st1:city u4:st="on">Louisville</st1:city>, <st1:state u4:st="on">Kentucky</st1:state></st1:place>.
To the best of my knowledge, the book is no longer available for purchase from
APH or from any other source. An incomplete set, consisting of Volumes
4-8, was given to me many years ago. Since I have been unable to find
hard copies of Volumes 1-3, I am especially glad that the hymnal is now
available in “web braille” form. <u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><u1:p> </u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">
