This reminds me of something though. I asked this once before and never got an answer, so now that the subject of magazines is up I will ask it again. There is a publication called New International. It calls itself a magazine, but it is not like other magazines in the least. It is not published on a regular basis. Issues may be published a few months apart or even a few years apart. It consists of various articles of a political nature and it is apparently published only when a sufficient number of suitable articles are accumulated to justify a new issue. The articles are usually referent to current affairs, but since they are also theoretical in nature they are not easily dated and can even be thought of as articles on historical topics. The publication has the appearance of a trade paperback book and the title of the lead article is usually prominent across the cover with the name New International in the background both on the cover and the title page as if New International was the name of a series. In virtually every way it is an anthology published in the form of a trade paperback book except that it calls itself a magazine and its publisher calls it a magazine or a journal. My question is whether this would be suitable for Bookshare. Because it is officially a magazine I doubt it, but I wanted to ask because anyone just looking at it would probably call it a book and I could imagine it being accidentally scanned for Bookshare as a book.

The number of magazines is very small. However, there are a number of newspapers. -- Doug From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bob Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2009 12:56 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Scanning Guideposts & Readers Digest I'm pretty sure I've seen somewhere that bookshare doesn't do periodicals.

Valerie said she would be interested in scanning them depending on what is necessary to have these magazines scanned and listed on Bookshare. Do the magazines have to give permission? Also, would you have to scan all of the advertisements? -- Doug block quote end
