Hi, Perhaps a volunteer, who is a software developer, could help remotely in some way. I am willing even if it is not done that way traditionally.

They come directly from the publisher and are processed in-house by the staff because they don't require validation. They get added to the collection through the backdoor instead of being handled by volunteers. From what I understand, they are added in batches through a process which still requires a bit of help by Engineering. The reason we haven't seen any for a long time is due to staff turnover. The Engineers who knew how to do it are no longer at Bookshare, and the new Engineers have not had an opportunity to get up to speed on processing them.

With all of the projects that engineering has been working on, we have gotten a bit behind with adding O'Reilly books into the collection. They hope to be processing more in the near future, and we will keep folks posted as more are added. John Glass Customer Support Manager, BookshareBenetech 480 S.

It looks like they have some newer versions of their books than we have on Bookshare. Thanks.
