If they were scanned for you and you clean them up (and if they are not already in the bookshare collection), then I can't think why bookshare would have any problem with you submitting them.

Hello Volunteers!
I posed this question another volunteer who suggested that I ask the list so here it goes. I have several books that the disability office at school has scanned for me, the books are textbooks for the Early Childhood Development and School Age Child degree program. I was reading through the safe publisher's list and that several of the publishers of these books are in the safe column. My question is this, if I clean up the scans is it ethical for me to upload them to bookshare providing that I did not do the scans myself? These are very informative textbooks that can also be read as stand-alone books for those who wish to do so. I also have a book called, "Lies my Teacher Told Me: Everything Your History Got Wrong" and "The Traveling Pants"(which is a book about the eco-friendly deham jeans.) Both of these were used as "readers" (stand alone text) for my sociology class. Oh yea, how could I forget about the World Religion book (I just forgot the name is all-but this was also a stand alone book for the sociology class)
Please advise,
Netta
