Actually, Cindy, if you want to point that out, then you should say that
Bookshare means, not Jake, because Jake is simply using Bookshare's
terminology.  If you look at the heading for the section of the volunteer
pages which contains the links for the Step 1 Download and Step 2 Upload
links, you'll see that Bookshare uses the term "publish" for adding books to
the collection.

I must point out, though, that by "publication date"
Jake means the date the books are added, or
"published" in the collection. Being a book person, I,
and I suspect others, thought it was by date of
publication of the book by publisher. smile
