Hi, the books that I wanted to add just simply don't have a copyright or
publication date anywhere on them. Someone suggested that there's a form
that the author could sign giving permission to ut the books up but I
had sent an e-mail to info@bookshare to see if there's information I
could send to the author to get that permission or if bookshare needed
to send out the information.

Just to let folks know, I touched base with our lawyer about the "we
have the entire book but there's no copyright notice" question. Our
legal requirement under Section 121 is "include a copyright notice
identifying the copyright owner and the date of the original
publication." Usually, this is on a front matter page. If we don't
have either, we can't put it up on Bookshare.org. I'm wondering if
there is another acceptable way to track this information down if it's
not in the book itself.
Of course, the usual reason we reject books as lacking copyright is
because the person scanning the book didn't scan that page. In such
cases, going back and scanning the copyright page and adding it back
into the file is the only reasonable solution if that book is available.
But, I found this corner case interesting and worth a little more
investigation.
