Hi, Cindy. There's a service for the blind that has these newspapers on a phone system for us to call and have the papers read to us. Bookshare is using this same feed, so they're getting the same things that are available on this system. Take care.

I gather from it,sinc eyou addressed it to Peter, that bookshare is thinking about, and testing, proding newspapers. That's great. I was wondering where the questions about newspapers came from. And also how the papers get into the collection, if they came from bookshare. I'm assuming that papers are donated by the publisher, because i can't imagine their being scanned. Peter, is there a chance that bookshare will be able to get magazines, too? "Inquiring minds want to know." (grin) Cindy --- Rick.Roderick@xxxxxx wrote: > Hi everyone, > > This is really for Peter.
