[bksvol-discuss] Re: bibliographies

That reminds me of a discussion about a year or two back about bookshare giving us an idea of what customers like the most but probably impossible.

I'd like to see that too. And I wish there was some way of seeing how many
times particular books are downloaded.

Hi E.,

I think your idea for the bibliographies is a wonderful one. Do people
have similar theme lists they're working with that they'd like to
contribute? Definitely something we should consider formalizing and
putting on the website. I'll be sure to copy this email out and put a
star on it that says "hey, new person, follow up on this, because it's
cool!"

Sarah, I can give you a category count but I can't give you a more
specific topic count. Would you find it interesting if I showed you some
numbers about how the category counts have changed since we first
launched?

Best,
Marissa

I love your idea!

Just yesterday  or the day before I was talking about how interesting it
would be if someone did some work to find out what topics bookshare has
a lot of books about, and then check to see how well a person could do
using bookshare to do some hypothetical research assignments.  For some
reason the word "bibliographies" didn't pop in to my mind, but that is
exactly what would be useful.

Not that I would wish to do anything but a strictly hypothetical
research project. :-)  Well, maybe the research itself could be real,
but the paper that is supposed to result would never be produced. LOL

Here is an idea for bookshare.  We can have a place where a list of
bibliographies are stored.  For instance, there can be a list of books
on
the holocust, and lists for other topics or themes. I have begun to
put
together a few tentative lists, one on non-western religion, for
instance,
and another on history themes. Ones which immediately spring to mind
are
books about the Civil War, the American Revolution and such. These
lists
might be valuable to students. The one about the Civil War could
include 
histories, plus fiction about the war.

The lists of nominees and winners of various prizes could also be kept
in
the bibliography section of bookshare. We might be able to get grants
to
create books about particular subjects. By the way, what about the
idea of
scanning a few books on grant writing for those of us inclined to
learn the 
art.

E.
