One thing about the student thing, though-not all of us have IEP's!!
Obviously, those of us in college/university don't fall under the IEP
category, and can't access the nymack text books, or whatever that is
called. Sometimes, this is unfortunate. Ok, here's a question: can those
of us who are older then k-12 grades access *any* text books on bookshare?

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Books needed for school
Some time ago, either in a newsletter or, I think, a
Bulletin that Lisa sent out, was this note: "If you're
a student or teacher requesting a book specifically
needed for school, go to the front of the line with
mail to: schoolbookrequest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
If Robin can get the book from the publisher for the
collection or Carrie or someone gets it and processes
it, I assume it will be both scanned and
proofread--hopefully. Then our students can
concentrate on studying and learning. smile

I would probably be interested in proofreading
certain textbooks but only if
I had a copy of the book available. Putting your
textbooks on Bookshare is
commendable but would you also be willing to loan
your print copy to the
proofreader? Most of these books are either not
easily available or are too
expensive for those doing proofreading to buy, and I
am one of those
proofreaders who is not willing to validate without
having a print copy
available. Jill
