Julie I think my time would be better spent scanning something not already available <smile>! as, the way I prepare books, it involves hours upon hours of work. The joining requirement for NLS is virtually identical to that of BookShare and is actually slightly broader as NLS serves U.S. citizens abroad while technically Bookshare doesn't. Hence, if someone is now getting BookShare services, they are 99.9% certain to qualify for NLS services and should avail themselves of it. It is one thing to accidentally scan something that aalso is on NLS, but I try avoiding so when possible, especially if NLS has it via Web-Braille.
