That was my question and concern too, smile.
It seems a waste for me to be doing these materials and others, to just turn
around and not be able to share them, to make other teachers lives easier,
but ah well...

RE: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Teaching materials appropriate for BookshareIs
there a way for those materials to go only to teachers who need these texts
to teach, and no one else?

Hi guys,
I'm pasting the section from the volunteer manual here regarding our
policies on teaching materials.
3.1.4 Books Cannot Be Standardized Testing Materials
Bookshare.org is not authorized to distribute standardized, secure, or
norm-referenced tests and related testing material. Copyright law
specifically states that these materials are not included in the material
which can be distributed to blind or other persons with print disabilities
by nonprofit organizations and specialized government agencies.
3.1.5 Books Cannot Be Teachers' Editions of Textbooks, Exams, Course
Packets, or Sample Course Materials
Bookshare.org has made it a matter of policy not to accept exams,
teachers' editions of textbooks or sample course materials based on a
request from the textbook division of the Association of American Publishers
(AAP).

I believe Bookshare has a policy that we do not accept books for scanning
that come with student answers. So while Anastasia¹s solution is a clever
one, it doesn¹t go far enough to support our policies. Carrie can probably
point you to where the policy lives on our website.
