There have been some additions to the publishers that have signed on with Bookshare since December, but I suppose it is better than nothing. As for the "safe" publishers, after thinking about it I tend to think that is not of much use. There are a huge number of publishers out there that none of us have ever heard of and that includes publishers that no longer exist. There is probably no way to compile all of them. There might be some reference book out there with them. That sounds like a book that some obscure publisher might have published at one time or another, but if there is it would likely be out of date too. It would be a huge job to compile such a list. It makes a lot more sense to just have a list of publishers, including all imprints. Then if a publisher is not on the list it can be assumed that it is a "safe" publisher.

I have an rtf list of publishers and their imprints I downloaded that was current as of Dec. 6,2011, also I have a Safe-to-scan list in Word from April 10 2012 (whether I downloaded it or created it myself I don't remember, but probably the former. I can post or send to individuals either list, or both.

Once we have that we can assume that if we come across anything with a publisher that is not on that list then it is a "safe" publisher.
