It's Okay, Cindy. That was my first thought, too. I guess I don't really
think of Bookshare as apublisher.

Well, Jake did explain to me when I asked him off-list (trying to keep from cluttering the list and feeling as if I was somewhat stupid or naive and not wanting to announce that publicly--grin) that the publication date the datre of inclusion in the collection--at least of the English and Spanish lists. I didn't look further.
It is true, now that you mention it, that the date put in the submission and uploading form is the copyright date, which, though not always the publication date because of reissued books and new editions, often is, especially for the newer books--which is what I saw when I first looked at Jake's list. Hence, probablyh, my confusion. If I'd seen a 1945 or 1956 in there I'd probably have realized--and, in fact, what made me suspect and ask Jake was that I saw a 2004 among the 2006s and 2005s--I think. smile

Original Publication Date probably refers to sorting books starting with the earliest books approved because the date that the print book is published by the publisher isn't part of the submission and validation forms, so the publication date that you're talking about won't be included in the database. Therefore, the system won't be able to sort books by that date.
Instead of speculating on what Jake means, though, we ought to just ask Jake. Care to explain it to us, Jake?

Could be. I didn't read further down than I needed to. smile. And I was at first confused. But as I said to Gerald, it's probably just me. And I'm straightened out now. smile
