What a great theme. Unfortunately I¹ll be at a digital publishing conference
here in the Bay Area and won¹t be able to join you. But I love being part of
your community.
Take care,
Lisa

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] A Closer Look At A Unique Book Collection
Tuesday, June 19, 2007
FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
Since February 2002 Bookshare.org has been an online community that enables
people with visual and other print disabilities to legally share scanned
books. Surprisingly, though, everyone does not know that Bookshare.org gives
print disabled people in the United States
legal
access to over 32,600 books and 150 periodicals that are converted to
Braille, large
print or text to speech audio files. It seems appropriate, therefore, that
we should take a closer look at this unique collection during our third
live, interactive get together in the Bookshare Chat Room Tuesday, June 19
at 5:00 p.m. Pacific, 6:00 p.m. Mountain, 7:00 p.m. Central, 8:00 p.m.
Eastern and Wednesday 00:00 GMT.
To attend this event, all you need is a PC running Windows 2000 or later, an
Internet connection, a sound card, and speakers. A microphone will be needed
to allow you to interact audibly with each other. If, however, you do not
have a microphone, text chatting will be available.
To join the fun, click on the Bookshare Chat Room link on the Accessible
World Home page at:

If this is the first time you have entered a Talking Communities chat room,
or the conference client has been updated, you will need to install and then

computer.
When the installation is complete, return to the sign-in screen and select
the Enter Room button. Enter your first and last name, Leave the Password
field blank. tab to the log in button, and press Enter.
That's it. You will be in the chat room and can begin talking with others in
the room by pressing and holding down the Control key.
Don't hesitate to invite all your friends. Seating is unlimited. Also, stop
by the chat room anytime to visit with friends or get immediate answers to
Bookshare issues.
