Descriptive Video Catalog Revised

A new edition of the Descriptive Video Catalog is now available in large print, braille, and cassette formats. Descriptive Videos are commercial movies and PBS broadcasts that have added audio tracks of narration describing the onscreen action for people who are blind or who have visual impairments. These videocassettes may be played on standard VCR equipment.

In addition, the list is available on our webiste: http://talkingbooks.nypl.org.
