The Calibre Cassette Library sponsored this report on information technologies of use to their visually impaired clients and a Web site redesign. Our intent was to prepare Calibre for audio book formats that would improve their service and to begin the transition to a high technology future with a scalable Web site redesign. We conducted research in the area's of Calibre's clients, organizations like Calibre and information technologies. We concluded that Calibre needed to improve collaboration with similar organisations such as the RNIB. Furthermore, the organisation should move forward with a conversion to digital media. In moving to a digital media, they should maintain maximum compatibility by using XML to define sections, WAV files for archiving, and MP3 for distribution.
