[blparent] Email from school

[Dianna]

That is the case according to Bookshare policy.  I know because I tried to
get one of the books and it won't let me under my membership.  Only a
teacher who needs it for a student or in some cases the student who needs it
themselves.

Eric,

There is a process by which text books are made available in accessible
formats to schools, and there is a sort of bank where these are held and
made available.  Publishers make books available directly to that bank.
While copyright laws would allow any of us who have a copy of a textbook to
convert it into a specialized format, there is a possibility that this bank
of textbooks that is already available may require that the book be
requested by a student or a teacher.  This is being investigated.  If this
is the case, we will need to figure out how to fix it, but it is possible
this isn't just being done at someone's whim.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
