I think I read somewhere recently that we should let Bookshare know if we are planning to scan a new book, so to be on the safe side I would recommend that you send this information to volunteers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi, Folks,

Unless somebody is already doing this,I'm planning to scan both:


Songbird journeys : four seasons in the lives of migratory birds / Miyoko Chu.


and

Miracles on the Water by Tom Nagorski

both of these were featured on NPR this Friday. I'm not sure if that means they are bestsellers yet and thus already slated for scanning. It will take me a few days to get my hands on these and then another day or two to scan, so there's plenty of time for some kind-hearted soul to stop me if they are already on their way.

Is there, BTW, some system where by books mentioned on NPR get added just as the best seller list does?

Happy preparing for fun summer reading folks!

Sheri W-J

Hi, Jill. I often download books marked as good. I rarely grab the ones rated as fair unless I plan to clean the text for myself first. Many of the books rated as good are quite comfortable to read, and I like having access to the books despite some errors. Since I use speech, I suppose I don't notice some of the formatting things that disturb Braille users.

I can't help wondering how many of us even download books marked fair or even good; I know I don't.
