Hi Shelley,
One of the big gaps we're trying to fill are the Caldecott award
winners. The list below is what we currently don't have on Bookshare, by
year. . .the most recent year first, followed by the books that we do
have on Bookshare. I'm going to send this list and a few others to Rui,
so he can post them on his site. As for the kiddie book list, I can
check, but it may well be buried in a land of paperwork far far away.
Best,
Marissa

you know, I have to agree with Bob, I am also unemployed and have a lot
of
time on my hands, and obviously like working for bookshare. I can't do
the
"best sellers" or the "books of the month" but can do other things to
help
out the organization.
I am free till September, when I will be back in school. But would love
to
help.
Kerry, you guys wouldn't have the rest of the list of "kids books" that
were requested by the grant. Even though the grant is up, perhaps we
could
still help fill in the gap. I have a rather progressive children's
library
so...
And if anyone has other areas that need attention in the collection that
I
can find material to fill.
I love reading the animal books and the kids novels, so am doing a lot
of
those right now, but we have an enormous sports section, large
psychology,
history and fiction section at our library.
Unfortunately most if not all of the "no book left behinds" aren't
available
from my library.

How about us helping out on aproving a book and saying it is okay to put
it
on the new page. Pick out the ones that want to go by the guidelines of
bookshare and that the staff would have more time to try to get grants
and
such. I for one am not working and have a lot of time on my hands and I
think there might be a few of us like myself that can help out a lot
more. I
know we can't devote all our free time to bookshare but there should be
a
way we can help out more if we want. In the survey that was done earlier
this year or it could've been last year, what did readers want in the
collection? I am submitting and aproving books that can't be found in
the
NLS but they aren't the least of my favorites and could care less but I
want
bookshare better than any other source for blind people to find things
to
read and if we can get reference books and text books boy what a great
thing
for bookshare. I remember back in the 70's and 80's it was hard to get
books
for cvollege and the SRS or whoever had to hire readers, don't know if
that
has changed over the years or not but I heard a lot of "I wish there was
a
place to get books." Has this changed over the years or not, it sounds
like
there is a lot going on right now.----- Original Message -----

Yes, there are several projects in the works. Unfortunately the books
that will bring in grant money (so Bookshare can stay afloat) are not
the
same books that most members want to read (sci fi, mysteries, romance
and
some other category that I've forgotten - Westerns maybe?). So the staff
does a juggling act, trying to keep everyone happy - investors, members,
volunteers. It's a bit rough on the staff members, since they WANT to
make
everyone supremely happy but they know they can't. I try to put the
books I
find (based on what everyone tells me in the discussion group) into the
submission queue as fast as I can, but my time is limited too. We
really do
try, we really really do...
Thanks! Carrie

One person can only do so much, and yet Marissa keeps dreaming up more
projects and bringing in more books, even though she tells us they are
working on a bunch of donated books. It seems the gardening books
should
get some priority as well as cookbooks.

Glad I can help!
One word of caution: Marissa brought in 5 bags of books on Thursday,
and
I got 2 more bags of books this weekend, so it'll take a while for all
of
the books (probably 80-100) to move thru the queue. Don't hold your
breath
waiting for them! I hope we can streamline the process, and get them
submitted sooner, but you know how it goes...
