I do somewhat use this as my guideline; I want to be especially sure that books I like are accessible in braille for those whose only access is through this medium. The web braille collection is limited at best. Bookshare's ability to make its collection available both in braille and with speech is possibly its most outstanding feature in my opinion. I do wish NLS could do the same. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Loran Bailey" <rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx>

That's what I was thinking. It has never been true and I would be interested in knowing where that guideline was found. I think something must have beenmisinterpreted about it. In any case, though, let me add that it might not be a bad rule to follow. That is, if a book exists in accessible format elsewhere I think it should be given a lower priority for adding toBookshare. Note that I did not say that it should be entirely avoided. It is a simple matter that it is already in accessible format somewhere and thereare other books that are not in accessible format anywhere. It is those latter books that should be given priority. _ _ _ "Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most - that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least." - Eugene V.

Is this still true? If it is, I fear that a lot of bookshare books need to go away then.
