I wish I'd seen that message! It's sad to me to think that books I've done aren't available to people in BRF. Having been blind all my life, I like to think I'm making books available for blind kids. Not that DAISY doesn't work--but it's not great Braille.

I seem to recall someone else mentioned, some time ago, that if a book is submitted with more than one language selected it does not show up as available in brf. Ever since then, I've only selected US English or British English for the books I submit even when they have many foreign words or phrases in them.Misha On 10/22/2013 1:36 PM, Judy s. wrote:Hi all,I've spent the last hour checking to see if there is a pattern in the books that are only showing up in the collection as available in DAISY text.So far, every book I checked that was submitted in the last year that was submitted as having more than one language is only available as a DAISY text file. This includs books submitted by volunteers and by outsourcers as well. I didn't find any publisher quality books that were submitted as having more than one language, so I have no idea if they would have the same problem.I've summarized my findings and sent them to bookshare support.This sure seems like a consistent problem, and I hope to hear soon that Bookshare has a solution that makes all of these titles available in audio and BRF.Patti, I'm so glad you posted about this! smile. All of these books should be available in all possible accessible formats.Judy s.
