[nabs-l] Bookshare Experiences

[Joe Orozco]

Hello,

Can anyone share their experiences with Bookshare?  I let my subscription
expire a couple years ago, and from what I remember, the selection was good
but the quality only somewhat satisfying.  Now I see that NLS is listing
Bookshare books as part of their Web Braille collection, which is a little
annoying because I'd prefer books with no mistakes.  I know it must sound
snobbish, but with the availability of Braille being so slim, the resources
that are devoted to Braille I'd rather have clean copies of.  Has the
quality improved?  Are there proofreading mechanisms in place to reduce what
I once found to be glaring flaws?  Thanks for any information.

Best,

Joe
