This came up in one of the threads earlier today so just wanted to clarify it 
here:

Volunteers actually can scan manuals as long as they include copyright 
information and meet our other scanning requirements as stated in the manual.
Exams, teachers' editions of textbooks or sample course materials however are 
Not eligible for Bookshare.org's collection -- and perhaps this was where the 
earlier confusion lay.

All good things,
Pavi

My understanding is that manuals are not allowed, Kenny. It's 1 of the
stipulations.
