Carrie, thanks for your help with the links. I'm making 
a list of business bestsellers from January 2009 till the present. I'll cross 
off the books already in the collection and will check the list of books being 
done by the outsourcers before tackling the books on my list.

Hi Monica,

It would be great if you could put in the business 
bestsellers. I just checked the website, and it looks like the lists are 
updated 
monthly instead of weekly. Some of the books on the lists are already in the 
collection, which means fewer books for you to tackle.
The hardcover 
list for January is at 
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/03/books/bestseller/besthardbusiness.html?ref=bestseller
The 
paperback list for January is at 
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/03/books/bestseller/bestpaperbusiness.html?ref=bestseller
Since 
the books are nonfiction, they may be more difficult to proofread than fiction, 
if they have charts, graphs, insets, etc. If you decide that a business 
bestseller is too difficult to proof, shoot me an email and I'll put it into 
the 
collection. Or if you have a book that's too big for your scanner, I'll chop 
and 
scan it for you. And yes, the business books are certainly 
educational.

Thanks for helping out! Carrie

Re: New bestsellers!

 
Carrie, I know that the Bookshare resources are 
limited. I didn't know that there is a business books bestseller list. I think 
the business bestsellers are important since many of us are either business 
owners or are self-employed professionals. Would it be helpful for me to start 
working to get those books into the collection? I spend a good part of my time 
reading books from that genre already, and I may have some of the bestsellers 
on 
my shelves without knowing it. If I scan them for Bookshare, will they help 
with 
the numbers for the grant since they're nonfiction and educational? Finally, if 
I buy a bestseller and find out that it's too big for my scanner, would it be 
possible for you to chop and scan it on your end?
