Volunteers,

Thanks to Carrie we already have the list of Bookshare's Publisher Partners 
online and attached. 

Shortly it will be integrated into the online Volunteer Manual as a link and 
guidance will be included on how to select books in this era of rapid 
transformation of the publishing industry.

As has been suggested, check this list if you wish to avoid selecting 
publishers whose PQ books might soon displace your submission. A proactive 
stance is to develop a list of personal favorite publishers who are not on the 
list and search a site like Amazon to develop a list of books you would like to 
submit.

Here is the URL on the wiki. It will be kept updated as the authority source 
for your use.

The most recent spreadsheet is attached. It is also downloadable at tthe URL 
above.
