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.

Hi Cheryl,

Shelley did a nice job explaining what NIMAC titles are. I'll just add that 
these are titles that we can only make available to users who fall under the 
provisions of the applicable legislation. As such, we can't add them into 
the general collection. The NIMAC flag will be set for qualified users and 
then they will be able to access NIMAC sourced titles like regular Bookshare 
books.

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't 
added any to the collection yet, but the infrastructure has been built into 
the website, so that it is there when we're ready to add them.

Jake

  User cannot download NIMAC sourced books

  Just wondering what nimac books are and why it's set to not download them? 
Can anyone satisfy my curiosity? Thanks.
