[bksvol-discuss] Re: Off list problem

Tim,

There are tools on the market for PDF to Word conversion but volunteers must 
work from print originals not digital files that they did not scan themselves 
or were not supplied by Bookshare. The Chafee Amendment that we operate under 
applies to print materials. Although a PDF or some other digital format that is 
not DAISY is not fully accessible it can be argued that a publisher has 
increased the book's accessibility at least to some degree by using that format 
thus it does not qualify under the protections of Chafee. If a publisher or 
someone who is not a registered Bookshare volunteer operating through the 
submission process provides a digital version of a book it is not eligible for 
addition to the collection.
