There are two versions of each of the Readers. The Audio Book allows you to preview the contents of the book. The Print PDF has the book laid out for printing as a booklet. The print settings are listed beside each book. Information on the complexity of the text, structure, and vocabulary for this level of Readers is listed below.

The book is usually laid out so that the script is on one side of a folder, and the cues are on the opposite side, with a line between the cue word / line, and the cue itself. Left-handed DSMs may prefer the cue page to be on the left of the folder. Most prefer it to be on the right, as below.
Booklets are documents with multiple pages arranged on sheets of paper that, when folded, present the correct page order. You can create 2-up saddle-stitched booklets, where two side-by-side-pages, printed on both sides, are folded once and fastened along the fold. The first page prints on the same printed sheet as the last page. The second page prints on the same sheet as the second-to-last page, and so on. Each page is automatically centered on the sheet, and large pages are scaled (shrunk) to fit the printable area. When you collate, fold, and staple the double-sided pages, the result is a single book with correct pagination.
To print booklets, your printer must support either automatic or manual duplex printing (printing on both sides of the paper). Manual duplex printing requires two separate printing passes: one to print the front side, and another to print the back side. To find out whether your printer supports duplex printing, check the printer manual or contact the printer manufacturer.
Determines which sides of the paper print. Choose Both Sides to automatically print both sides of the paper (your printer must support automatic duplex printing). Choose Front Side Only to print all pages that appear on the front side of the paper. After these pages print, flip them, choose File > Print again, and choose Back Side Only. Depending on the printer model, you might have to turn and reorder the pages to print the back sides.
If your printer does not support Automatic Duplex printing, you'll need to turn or flip the pages and feed them back in. The exact steps depend on your printer model, and you can update the settings using the printer Properties in the Print dialog box. For more information, see Double-sided Printing.
Determines the orientation for the binding. Choose Left for text read left-to-right; choose Left (Tall) for paper folded on the long side, where the printable area is long and narrow. Choose Right for text read right-to-left or for Asian-style vertical reading; choose Right (Tall) for paper folded on the long side.
Use of leather dressings is no longer considered a best practice in the conservation of leather-bound books. The general advice above still represents the options (boxing or consulting a conservator) for dealing with the various condition problems that may arise with deteriorating leather, including red rot, stiffness, and dessication.
The preservation guidelines described here have been used by the Library of Congress in the care of its collections and are considered suitable by the Library as described; however, the Library will not be responsible for damage to your collection should damage result from the use of these procedures.
Use a different app on one side: Click the app window, move the pointer over the green button in the top-left corner, choose Replace Tiled Window, then click the window you want to use instead. If you decide not to replace the current window, click the desktop to return to it.
In developing the decision aid we utilised the NHMRC guideline "How to prepare and present information for consumers of health services" [27] and the Ottawa framework established and rigorously tested by the Ottawa Health Decision Center [28]. The decision aid was developed to incorporate a workbook (with and without a complementary audio-component as a compact disc) and worksheet. The workbook highlights key points (similar to a slide presentation) and the audio component connects these points in a narrative format, providing more detail than the workbook. The worksheet is a one-page sheet to be completed by the woman to record her decision making steps, to list any questions she needs answered before deciding, and to encourage her to discuss he plans with her labour care providers. Most importantly, the decision aid is intended to be non-directive in that it does not aim to steer the user towards any one option or increase or decrease intervention rates but rather act as an adjunct to care
The decision aid was designed for women to use at home or in the clinical setting, and takes about 30 minutes to complete. After working through the decision aid, women should take the completed worksheet to their next antenatal appointment to discuss their preferences with their health care provider. The worksheet is also useful for the practitioner, who can see rapidly from it what evidence the patient has considered, what her values and preferences are and which way she is leaning in her preferences for analgesia during labour.
A number of draft decision aids (including workbook, audio transcript, and worksheet), were developed and each subjected to pilot testing and revision as we obtained feedback. The process of testing and revising started with the study project group. The next phase included a review by a group of national and international content experts, including decision aid experts, obstetricians, midwives, perinatal epidemiologists, parent educators and psychologists. Once we were convinced that the content was accurate the decision aid was pilot-tested amongst consumers. There were several rounds of consumer review and refinement.
Digitizing of audio materials is performed on mid-level machines on most platforms,with commercial software that is easily obtainable. Digitizing has to be donein real time. In other words, a thirty minute audio cassette tape will be digitizedin exactly thirty minutes. Most digitizing software is capable of setting theprocess to various sample sizes like 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit resolution andsample rates between 8 and roughly 44k per second. Most digitizing softwareis also capable of producing various file formats or converting one file formatto another. Just like producing master tapes to the highest specifications,implementers of digital services should consider storing the highest possiblequality (or at least a level of digitization that renders the complete rangeof the original). Obviously this approach requires enormous amounts of storageso that a compromise is indicated.
More important than all of the above was our decision to "edit down"the audio tapes to the exercise level. The problem with analog services fromcassette tapes is that it is time consuming and frustrating to go to specificexercises, or drill on a 30-minute cassette tape. Sometimes the tape needs tobe fast-forwarded to the exercise which can take close to two minutes. Thenit may need to be rewound for an exercise at the beginning of the tape, anothertwo minutes. With an "edited down" tape the student can open the workbookand access in seconds the tape section that he/she needs. This "editingdown" was performed by several Dartmouth students who were competent inthe respective languages.
The situation for video is not quite as simple. We do not have the option (yet)of converting MPEG files into a format that is acceptable for the streamingQuickTime server. Apple has hinted that it is close to providing this solution.At this point, we are serving video from an NT Server to both Macintosh andPC clients. The server contains so-called raw MPEG files that can be viewedwith MediaPlayer on the PC side and with MoviePlayer 4 on the Macintosh side.In the long run the video files have to be served from a streaming server aswell so that we can be sure that we can satisfy the needs of large numbers ofsimultaneous clients. Assuming that industry will provide this solution, thedream of a streaming video and audio server for less than $2,000 would becomea reality.
