I like that. I also like
our shared library
or
the library I always wanted
Thanks for writing the article. Please stress that the creation of the
library is something we have all done together. We have built the
collection together one book at a time. This makes the quality
occasionally spotty. Sometimes quality varies. So does content.
We are like those monasteries where dedicated people (men and yes women)
worked as scribes so that books became available to more people.
Books are shared when they are precious and scarce. For blind people books
have often been scarce or limited by factors outside of our individual
control. Bookshare has changed that reality for me.
You can quote any of this in your article if you like.
Do ask folks to be patient as we strive to improve all aspects of bookshare
together.
Please also remind them that nonmembers can search for books. This is
useful to do before someone scans a book. Just think of becoming a member
because you want that particular book and it is available on bookshare so
you do not have to buy the print copy and scan the book!
