Hi Sharon,

I remember a discussion about this.  The rule is that we cannot copy from
NLS..  We can scan and validate the same books, but we can't use the copies
that have something like Web Braille, NLS, etc., on them.

Hope that helps,

Sue S.

Hello Everyone:

How does Bookshare determine what books are approved for the site?  I
thought I read something along the lines that if a book is found in another
alternative media with another organization that they cannot be approved
through bookshare.  I was looking on NLS web braille and see many from Norah
Roberts which are also on Bookshare.  Would someone please clarify this for
me?

Thank You,
Sharon
