Hi Scott,
At first there was a donation to put bestsellers into the collection, but it
has since been used up. When it ended, I was told to continue buying
bestsellers, that Bookshare would find the money somewhere. I haven't asked
whether the current money comes from.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question about the language of the bestseller
initiative
Hi all,
Recent discussion revolving around the Bookshare effort to quickly
place
current bestsellers into the collection has prompted me to write. If
there
is a specific mission statement or synopsis paragraph about this
endeavor,
I'd like to see it. In other words, I want to know exactly what the
project
is supposed to do. Has a certain amount of money been set aside to be
put
towards the purchase of bestsellers? If so, is this money to be spent
on
bestsellers regardless of book content. Or, is this more an informal
effort,
one where Bookshare is doing its best to incorporate the popular books
of
now into its collection as quickly as possible, and if some don't make
it,
it's not a big deal.
Scott
