I used this method two years ago and it took less than a week for me, or maybe
right at a week, but not long at all. I know others who have had problems with
it taking longer, so I guess I was just a lucky one. <smile> Take care.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] How Long Does It Take?
I registered for Bookshare on January 14. In Step Two, I used as proof of
print-impairment my membership of NLS. According to Bookshare's site, the
verification may take *up* to two weeks, (emphasis added). It will be four
weeks this coming Saturday. I was wondering what kind of time frame other
people have experienced. I am kind of impatient - especially as it is getting
on to twice the time the site says it should take up to.
I contacted the Braille Institute Library in Los Angeles, where I am
registered, thinking that they would get the request for proof of registration,
but I was told that they had heard nothing from Bookshare. Then, I sent an
email to support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on Monday and got a response quickly from Peter
M. Scialli, telling me that the verification comes from Washington, and that "
The verification does not go through the regional libraries. It goes through
the NLS headquarters in Washington. Depending on schedules, they may sometimes
take longer to respond than we would like. Your affiliated library will not
hear anything about this as it is done strictly through the DC office ..."
I'm going to write to them today, asking if they know anything about the
status of this, but I was just wondering how long others had to wait who have
used this method in Step Two.
Thanks for any feedback.
