Shakespeare is in the public domain and there should be no problem with Bookshare including any of his works. The problem comes with the text that accompanies the Shakespeare material in this series. That is, Shakespeare is translated into modern English alongside the original Shakespeare. That counts as a modern play.

I remember something about that, too, though I thought it was modern plays; apparently not.

    I'm guessing the latter, as I could swear I saw something in the
    volunteer manual about plays and screenplays not being allowed
    into the collection, with the exception of those submitted
    directly from the publishers.

    Hi Nimit,

    So, does this mean only they can't add it for you or that it
    cannot be added at all (as by volunteers) because it is a play?

    I ask because this is good information for us to know as
    volunteers. :)

        Hi Nimit,

        Great question. The other No Fear Shakespeare books in our
        collection
        are not plays, but regular novels and poetry collections. We
        apologize
        for the inconvenience.

        Best,

        Annie Naftel

        Hi!  Thanks!  I'll find it somewhere else, I guess.  I am sorry I
        didn't know that.  But may I please ask you one other
        question?  I saw
        some other series in that same publisher already in Bookshare
        collection!  I was searching and I saw that had the same
        publisher.
        Just wondering.  Thanks!
