Something does not make sense. Books that do not even have an ISBN qualify for Bookshare.

The placement of the ISBN on the rear outside cover is the only location for 
the number on the actual physical book.
This book is a purchased book.
I Recently received a note from BookShare that the ISBN number is required as 
part of the scan and must be on the copyright page when scanning a book.
There are  many books with ISBN numbers that may not conform to this 
requirement. Does this mean that these books are ineligible for BookShare?

Are you sure that was the ISBN number? Was that a book you purchased ather
than one you got frm a library? (I ask because otherwise it could be a
library ID number

One can verify that it is an ISBN or not by entering it in the search
field of some site that allows search by ISBN and have most all of them
in their database. I am thinking of sites like Amazon, Good Reads or
Open Library. As to how to handle it when scanning, I don't know of any
requirement that the ISBN be scanned. Just keep it on hand when
submitting it to enter to get the metadata. For that matter, you don't
even have to do that if you want to enter the metadata yourself. Do
check the copyright page carefully though. It should be there, but it
doesn't have to be.

    I scanned a book a while back in which the ISBN number was on the

    How does one handle this for scanning?
    There are some other promotional items on the outside rear cover
    as well but no real content.
