I think there's a lot of audio that deaf-blind people find inaccessible,
hence putting in accessible text copies in Bookshare if the only copies
available in NLS is in audio. Regards, Kim Friedman.

That's what I was thinking. It has never been true and I would be interested
in knowing where that guideline was found. I think something must have been
misinterpreted about it. In any case, though, let me add that it might not
be a bad rule to follow. That is, if a book exists in accessible format
elsewhere I think it should be given a lower priority for adding to
Bookshare. Note that I did not say that it should be entirely avoided. It is
a simple matter that it is already in accessible format somewhere and there
are other books that are not in accessible format anywhere. It is those
latter books that should be given priority.

From what the guidelines say, the book can't be in any other "book
accessibility" format at another place like RFB&D, NLS/BARD and so on. Is
this still true? If it is, I fear that a lot of bookshare books need to go
away then.
