I know for me, I wanted to know "do you see what I see and what do you think
about it?" This also implies I want to know what to do about it. I don't wish
to violate copyright but am interested in the considered expertise and opinion
of persons who are more experienced or knowledgeable than me. I want to know
what should be done with it to make it the way the author wrote it so I'm not
going by guess or by gosh. Regards, Kim.

Good question, Larry. I had a scanner but it died. Therefore, if I am not
allowed to request a rescan of pages I will have to stop volunteering.

How do you suggest that we get page scans to our proofers who need them?

Hello All -
Bookshare Management has been made aware of ongoing concerns related to sharing
RTF files. Discussion surrounding this topic within the volunteer community
seems to be: if the book is not yet in Bookshare�s collection or under direct
supervision of Bookshare, it is fine to distribute among the volunteer
community to solicit help with proofing. It is illegal and unethical to send
parts or wholes of books to other individuals over the internet without
explicit permission from the copyright holder. Bookshare cannot emphasize this
enough. It is impermissible for Bookshare volunteers to violate copyright.
From Bookshare�s volunteer agreement: �If a copyright violation occurs that is
traced to me, Bookshare will discontinue my account. I acknowledge that
violations of copyright law and the terms of this agreement may subject me and
other people committing such violations to civil and criminal liability, and
that Bookshare will cooperate with copyright holders on investigations of such
violations. If I violate the terms of this agreement, Bookshare may
unilaterally and immediately terminate this agreement by written or email
notice to me.�
We value greatly all of the hard work and loyalty our volunteers donate to make
our organization productive and successful. However, to maintain our position
in the field of accessible books, it is crucial that our volunteer community
adhere strictly to the rules of copyright, and avoid at all cost, any violation
thereof.
Thank you,
Julie Carpenter
Collection Development Manager
Bookshare
