Hi Jake,
Will Benetech be attempting to work with publishers, advocating that they grant
permission for those materials to go into the general collection anyhow, given
that we've already had to certify our disabilities in order to be granted
access in the first place?
You see, I'm aware of one dirty little secret about all this legislation.
While it is good that blind K-12 students now have more access, nothing has yet
been done for blind parents of sighted children. :(

Hi Cheryl,
Shelley did a nice job explaining what NIMAC titles are. I'll just add that
these are titles that we can only make available to users who fall under the
provisions of the applicable legislation. As such, we can't add them into the
general collection. The NIMAC flag will be set for qualified users and then
they will be able to access NIMAC sourced titles like regular Bookshare books.
I don't know how many NIMAC sourced titles we'll have, but they won't be a
huge part of the collection right now. As Cindy pointed out, we haven't added
any to the collection yet, but the infrastructure has been built into the
website, so that it is there when we're ready to add them.
Jake
