Tech and the State Library.
Nice post about Utahs Library
The State Library houses the largest collection of braille books in the world which supports 16 states and the Library of Congress. Patrons can order books in braille or books on tape online through the KLAS catalog system for shipping or even download books for printing in braille at home.
The Library does a great job of using technology to support its operation. They scan books of local interest and publish them in braille and also have their own radio station. These are the same people who have created RSS feeds for specialized training and offer an online RSS workshop. They just added live help to their search utility so that you can chat with a reference librarian if you are unable to find what you are searching for. They also support an RSS feed with local and national library news. I expect you'll see even more innovation there in the future. [David Fletcher's Government and Technology Weblog]
