Hi, Alisa!
And just to clarify we had Scott and Robin's blessing when we were at ALA to
demonstrate Nichole on Bookshare and collect cards to forward. We gave each
interested person the website address and told them about the publisher liaison
link in absence of having her business cards since she was not accessible while
we were at ALA. It is my hope in the future Bookshare will send a team to ALA
(next year is in CA, I think); one to man a booth and perhaps Robin to mill
around and make introductions. I don't know if it entered into the equation
last year, but I believe Bookshare had staff elsewhere during ALA.
Valerie
Keep up with Nichole's recovery:
