Hi all,
Chris, I don't think you need worry about Bookshare scrubbing the
scanning of a best seller. It is, of course, Carrie's decision as to
which books she does in which order, and I believe that Lisa, who has
control of these things, would respect any aversion Carrie has toward
any particular author. However, we had quite a long discussion in the
beginning of October about book banning and so on, and it was made
abundantly clear to me and to others, that Bookshare's policy is to
allow and to promote all material to be scanned within reason.
I don't read Anne Coulter so I have no idea what Carrie's objections
are, but many of the list of so-called banned books are in the
Bookshare collection. So, I don't think you need worry. If Carrie
will not scan a given book, I'm sure somebody else will. We do
however, want to respect both our employees and our volunteers who scan
for us. That way we'll all work together to accomplish this wonderful
thing we're doing here.
Ann P.
