Examples of Best Practice

Speaking Volumes, Wakefield Library and Information Service Speaking Volunmes.

This website was designed to allow readers to write content. Blind and partially sighted site users chat about books and audio book readers. A partnership with public libraries throughout Yorkshire and Humberside, Speaking Volumes is an exemplary regional resource for reader development.

London Libraries Development Agency.
London Lives is one example of LLDA's book list compilations. This list includes the accessible formats in which the titles are available and a direct link to Revealweb. A simple but effective idea.

Volunteering England.
