Hi Darrell and Shelley,Bookshare is all about making as many books accessible to as many people as possible. I can't say what Bookshare will or won't do because I don't get to make those decisions, smile.
I'm not sure exactly what the process is going to be for requesting NIMAC titles. I'm sure once we're fully geared up for NIMAC titles that a press release will go out with the details.

I believe RFB and D only has one title. Smile, in Nimac. Now, jake, as I do work with the schools, when the schools purchase the titles, do they have to tell publisher to send to Nimac, and then contact Bookshare to get the title here? That is the procedure RFB and D is doing. Just curious. Shelley L. Rhodes M.A., VRT, CTVI and Guinevere, Golden lady Guide juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.

I'll just add that these are titles that we can only make available to users who fall under theprovisions of the applicable legislation. As such, we can't add them into the general collection. The NIMAC flag will be set for qualified users andthen they will be able to access NIMAC sourced titles like regular Booksharebooks. I don't know how many NIMAC sourced titles we'll have, but they won't be a huge part of the collection right now. As Cindy pointed out, we haven'tadded any to the collection yet, but the infrastructure has been built intothe website, so that it is there when we're ready to add them.
