Hi Dornetta,
I'd definitely wait for an answer from BookShare on whether you can submit a
book you didn't personally scan. I vaguely remember something like that came
up early on and I don't remember how it was finally resolved.
Lies My Teacher Told Me... is already in the collection with an excellent
rating.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Questions about scanned textbooks
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
