And may I say thank you to whoever buys books for Bookshare. I just looked
through that list of upcoming books and found a whole handful of books by
Leon Trotsky, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. I really did not think I would be
listened to that well. This is one of those reasons that I wonder if
volunteers are becoming obsolete. It appears that it is a lot more quick to get
a
book or a certain kind of book in the collection by just asking for it than
by scanning it oneself. At least I think it would have taken me years to do
those myself and even if I had then how long would I have had to wait for a
proofreader?

Carrie, thank you! This at least gives us the info we need to
avoid duplication.
