I know Alison, that here, it is the paperwork involved, and they are unsure what software/hardware their students would need to access the site. Not to mention the learning curve, smile. Of actually having to learn a new site. I know with my school districts once I pointed out ways they could find free or inexpensive ways to access the site, they were much more readily eager to try it. Shelley L.

I'm thrilled. Thanks Monica for letting us know. You know, I never can figure why schools would decide they would not join Bookshare. Monica mentioned that this school had previously said they were uninterested in signing up their students. I wonder why. I mean... it's free. They don't really have anything to lose. Do you happen to know their original reason for not signing students up? I ask so that we will know the concerns schools are having in hopes that we can address them in the future. If one school had this view of Bookshare, I would guess that others do as well. So any insight is appreciated.
