Hi Walt and list:

It is a list of sources. Easy enough to investigate them. I think of them as doors in a long corridor. Some doors are open. Some doors are closed. Still others are marginally inbetween.

Cheers,
Dave

I agree. All you're doing is pointing people to _sources_ and it's up to
those persons to determine whether or not they qualify to receive materials
from those sources. Since qualifications and requirements are always subject
to change with any such organization, I don't feel that it's APH's
responsibility to track and list them.

Maybe we should just leave the manual as it is with respect to this issue. Each organization has its policies and regulations, and I don't think we want to be in the business of keeping up with each of them.

I never said anything about citizenship. According to the American
Heritage Dictionary, an American is "a native or *inhabitant* of
America".
So my statement is in fact correct.

Hi Bruce and list:

If they did as you suggest, they would be inaccurate. Bookshare and
RFBD
require you to reside in the US to receive service. They do not
require you
to claim or be US citizenship. When correctly clarified, I agree it
would be
a good idea to point that out in the manual.

Cheers,

May I respectfully suggest that, in the manual where it talks
about
sources for books, an explanation be added that at least two of the
listed
sources, Bookshare and RFB&D, require you to be American to use
their
 service?
