Hi Kathy,
When the publishers send files to Bookshare, we convert them to our daisy
and brf formats. So, it's just like every other Bookshare book. No need to
worry, you'll definitely be able to read them!

Hi, Madeline,
If IU Press is sending materials in EPUB, what players can read it?

Hi again everyone,
We got all of these announcements over the past few days, but I'm just now
getting to them. My apologies for the delay!
Indiana University Press, founded in 1950 and located in Bloomington,
Indiana - and the distinguished alma mater of our colleague Fred Slone - has
signed our agreement, giving us world rights to its titles specializings in
the <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanities> humanities and
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_sciences> social sciences. IU Press is
currently one of the largest public university presses in the
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States> United States. It publishes
140 new <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book> books annually, in addition to
29 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_journal> academic journals and
has a backlist of between 2-3,000 titles. It will be giving us titles in
EPUB and is distributed through Ingram's CoreSource.
Their titles include scholarly essays, fiction, poetry, and art in a wide
range of subject areas including legal studies, feminist and American
philosophy, Judaism and science, Middle East women's studies, feminist
studies in religion, film, bioethics, folklore, African American and African
studies and literature, electronic services, modern literature, Victorian
