Many publishers are also downloading thousands of books. There are now over 
248,000 titles.

Hi all,
Yes, Bookshare volunteers and, I think, maybe some paid staff, submit books.
I believe some of the books, such as the work related, come from some
university program.  There is something called "Nimas," books on Bookshare.
Sorry I am not totally knowledgeable.

As for NASW, I don't think their magazine is in another format than print.
My NASW Massachusetts affiliate has a little newspaper monthly that I used
to access online.  The slightly hard part was an article could leave off and
begin again pages later.  Now, no longer a member, I can't access the site.

There is also a site that is for social workers, which has a free magazine
entitled The New Social Worker, a book group, and a job posting area, etc.
It is run by Linda May Grobman, who has authored a few books all called
Fifty Days in the Life of a Social Worker with each chapter an account of a
typical day in a specific field of social work.  They have some of the books
on Bookshare. The web address is socialworker.com.

I just stumbled on a site connected to Career Builder and called
socialwork.com, which has job listings sorted by degree, as well as "family
services," and so on.


Best,

Sandy
