Hey at least Illinois is represented.  Pennsylvania isn't on either newsline 
or Bookshare yet.

The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to
stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] papers


I have a couple of thoughts concerning papers.  I agree about Illinois
papers.  I would like to see some on the Bookshare site.  The Chicago
Tribune is on Newsline but not on Bookshare.  Since they are getting feeds
from the papers themselves, I wonder if this is a copyright issue.

Second, a big deficiency of Newsline is that it provides no Central
Illinois papers.  Examples include the Peoria Journal-Star, the
Bloomington-Normal Daily Pantagraph, the Champaign-Urbana News Gazzette,
and the Decatur and Springfield papers.

I also think it would be helpfull if the site, and Newsline for that
matter, would have a some kind of notation as to whethetr or not a paper
is complete or not.  Perhaps, the word "complete" could be used in front
of the papers that provide pretty much all content and the word "excertps"
in fron of those that don't.
