Quite true, but in my current state, I can't get those "book of the Months"
or the best sellers. as my library can't carry them, we are too small and
not enough money.
But I can certainly do the Pulitzers and the other Award winners.
But am also in a Education state of mind. What is it, you see the world
from your profession, smile.
I also believe that Bookshare can be used to preserve books that would be
lost to the either if not scanned and OCR in like the BAynard Kendrick
books. Or those by Joy Adamson

While certainly havingg award winning books in the collection is a worth
while project, whatever that award category happens to be,
especially from a pr perspective, I suspect average readers would be more
impressed if goals such as having best sellers available within "xx" days
or weeks,book of the month type selections, et al were approached as
target projects.
More customers will read a best selling romance, mystery, or expose -- and
certainly these books are more often discussed around the office -- than
Pulitzer or Newberry books.
The question is whether these projects are first viewed for their pr value
or for providing the types of things that people in the everyday world
read.
Ideally, one should have both.
That's how a conventional library is built; and that ought to be the
approach BookShare should follow in expanding its collection.
