[bksvol-discuss] Re: BookShare Question

Hi Jane, no there would be no problem getting more stuff to download.
The same procedure applies regardless of your student status. I'm not a
student and I can write to the Bookshare folks if I reach a download
limit and request the number count be rolled back. Regards, Kim
Friedman.

Oh, the subscription has been paid for with credits I was given. I meant
would it be a problem for me to get my download limit extended even
though I am not a student?
