Advance reader copies. They are sent by publishers, prior to publication, to reviewers with the expectation of getting what amounts to free advertising. They are not allowed on Bookshare. In fact, the final published product may not even have the exact content.

It cannot be on the side of workers anywhere in the world because it is an ally of the monopolies. It cannot be on the side of colonies because it is an ally of the colonizing powers." - Fidel Castro 1960

How awesome! If you don't mind me asking, what are ARC's? From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Valerie Maples Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2011 11:08 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] I must be nuts! HELP!!!! And yes, this is on topic! LOLNichole and I are at ALA, the annual American Library Association convention in New Orleans, and we are thoroughly overwhelmed. Nichole shared her storyand passion for reading with hundreds of authors and publishers, promoting Bookshare all along the way. Long story short, we found dozens ofpublishers and authors interested in donations and was given 68 books, only6 of which are already in Bookshare, and 6 additional ARC's that cannot be used, but Nichole can read. Anyway, after we get back, Doug and I will make a list with some synopseswhen easily available and if anyone is interested in scanning them, but canmail them back to me (either for us to proof or to donate to our local library), I can share the wealth. Suffice it to say it is a WIDE range of books, nearly all YA and younger, but a couple adult titles. My feet are worn off, but it has been the experience of a lifetime.Tomorrow Nichole is a special guest for the Schneider Family Award luncheon, and we will likely head home immediately after since the exhibit hall closesat 2. It was a dream come true for Nichole! Valerie, a weary, but proud and happy mom and devoted Bookshare volunteer
