Registering as a new reader
If you would like to become a reader at the KTN Library, please provide us with the following documents:
- KTN reader application form,
- a copy of your ZTP/P card or a doctor's note confirming that you are eligible for our services,
if you want to use the Biblio Digital Internet Library, then also the KTN Reader Declaration. - The documents can be downloaded here: Download
A KTN reader application form, together with a copy of your ZTP/P card or a doctor's confirmation, entitles you to borrow books from our collection on physical media, i.e., paper braille books, audiobooks on CD, and music CDs. If these are all the services you wish to use, that is all we need from you.
The KTN reader declaration attached to the KTN reader application and a copy of your ZTP/P card or doctor's confirmation entitles you to create an account in our Biblio Digital Internet Library. In addition to borrowing books, you can also listen to recordings online, download them in MP3 format, and download documents in TXT format. In order for us to allow you to create an account, we need to verify your signature on the KTN Reader Declaration. This can be done in the following ways:
- Sign the reader's declaration in front of us at the library,
- deliver it via your data box,
- send it to us by email with an electronic signature,
- send it by email or post with your physical, officially certified signature.
Your signature can be officially certified, for example, by an employee of the Czech Post at CzechPoint or by a notary.
You can send us the necessary documents in the following ways:
- in person at the KTN Library at Ve Smečkách 15, 115 17 Praha 1,
- by email to ktn@ktn.cz,
- by post to the K. E. Macana Library and Printing House for the Blind, Ve Smečkách 15, 115 17 Praha 1,
- or to the data box 5zf55a9.
Registration for the Biblio Digital Internet Library
Registration for the Biblio Digital Internet Library is only possible after you have sent us all the necessary documents.
Go to https://biblio.oui.technology/. Next to the "Log in" button (on the right side of the top bar), there is a button with a downward arrow. Clicking on it will open a menu with the option "Register a new user" in the second position. Clicking on this option will display the registration form.
In the registration form, fill in your email address, first name, last name, reader number, and password in the last two fields.
Your reader number was assigned to you by the library when you delivered the documents needed for registration.
The password must contain at least 8 characters in a combination of numbers and letters. A sufficiently secure password should contain a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters along with numbers.
Once you have filled in all the fields, click on the Submit option. By submitting the registration form, your request will be saved on the server and the system will send an email to the email address you provided. In this email, you will receive a link containing a special activation code. You must click on this link so that your internet browser loads the specified internet address. Only then can your registration process continue. Until you receive the email with this activation code and activate the link provided in it, your registration will not be valid.
If you do not receive the email, please contact the library staff at biblio@ktn.cz or by phone at 731 174 561.
