Thank you Scott.  This is very good.  This will go a long way toward
addressing my concerns.

Bookshare's Publisher Partners

Volunteers,

Thanks to Carrie we already have the list of Bookshare's Publisher Partners
online and attached. 

Shortly it will be integrated into the online Volunteer Manual as a link and
guidance will be included on how to select books in this era of rapid
transformation of the publishing industry.

As has been suggested, check this list if you wish to avoid selecting
publishers whose PQ books might soon displace your submission. A proactive
stance is to develop a list of personal favorite publishers who are not on
the list and search a site like Amazon to develop a list of books you would
like to submit.

Here is the URL on the wiki. It will be kept updated as the authority source
for your use.

https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Bookshare+Publisher+Partners

The most recent spreadsheet is attached. It is also downloadable at tthe URL
above.

Benetech Fellow, Bookshare Volunteer Department
