I don't think at present the law applies to college level textbooks but just
to up to grade twelve.
In any case, the publisher would have to send them directly to Bookshare.
The college textbook providers who are giving the digital copies are doing
it as a courtesy right now, it isn't as far as I know mandated by law.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

My school has signed up for psychology books that can be downloaded. Can I
submit these books to Bookshare? I understand the rule but does this rule
included digital books that are approved by colleges or universities? Also,
isn't
there a law which says that the publishers of new books have to provide
digital copies. If this is true, wouldn't it be easier and faster to submit
the
digital copies of these new books from the publishers? In this way, we
could
dramatically increase our collection and could spend our time scanning and
validating older books.
