My experiences with them are like Pratiks, the higher I go in my education,
senior high and college the less helpful they became. After A while I just
gave up trying to get materials from them and just started scanning them
myself.
As a freshman in college I was lucky to get half of my texts in accessible
format. By my senior year none of them. And Education isn't a tiny
profession particularly when it comes to disabled students.
This was also a wide rang of books from books published in the seventies and
eighties, too those published in 2000-2002.
So after a while, I just started scanning my materials and submitting them
here.
Got a lot of experience that way.

Let me just say that my experiences with RFB&D have been 180 degrees the
opposite of yours.
The point I was making was the impetus for a book being in the RFB&D
collection are requests from their customers.
I suppose like any volunteer organization, they too have limits at times
as to what they can and cannot do based on available volunteers, budget
constraints and all of the other items that volunteer-based organizations
must deal with.
