Sr Dolores Jean,
If this a book that you are proofing for Bookshare please familiarize
yourself with Benetech policy on protecting intellectual property found here
and quoted below. It is not appropriate to mail copyrighted material that
you are working on as a Bookshare volunteer:
https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/6.+Extra+reading#6.Extrareading-6legalinformation
If this is private communication please refrain from posting it to the
Bookshare Volunteer Discussion List. The focus here is on resolving issues
related to scanning and proofing Bookshare books.

Bookshare
A. Policy change 8-17-2010: Sharing files when doing volunteer work for
Bookshare
Bookshare exists because of the privileges available to
nonprofits like Benetech to serve people
with print disabilities as they are outlined in the Chafee
Amendment to the US Copyright Act.
While Bookshare may produce copies of print materials for its
members it must do so in a
manner that is carefully circumscribed in order to protect the
intellectual property rights of authors
and publishers and meet the requirements of the copyright
exception. Such practices include
controlling access to copyrighted materials, requiring
contractual agreements for all users and
volunteers, and fingerprinting content.
During the production process Bookshare also takes great care
to prevent the unauthorized
release of copyrighted material. This includes a strict
prohibition on volunteers emailing or
otherwise exchanging Bookshare content directly with each
other. In most cases, where an
exchange of document content is necessary between two
volunteers the complete document
must first be returned to Bookshare and checked out by the
second volunteer.
Occasionally, there is a need for portions of books to be
exchanged between volunteers. This
most often occurs between a translator and a proofreader, when
a sighted and a blind volunteer
team up, or when a scan contains numerous errors and the
proofreader does not have access
to the physical book. We are changing our policy slightly to
permit a limited exchange of
material directly between two Bookshare volunteers (both in
good standing: current, having
agreed to the Volunteer Agreement) in order to produce more
accurate digital documents for
Bookshare. This exchange is limited to a single chapter or up
to 10% of the content at a time,
whichever is larger. In the case of graphic elements such as
genealogical charts or illustrations,
up to one chapter's worth of these elements may be sent in one
communication if these elements
are separated from the book. If neither of these exceptions
applies, content must continue to
only be shared by the existing process of returning the
content to Bookshare and the second
volunteer checking it out.
