[nabs-l] Changes coming to Bookshare homepage

[Chris Nusbaum]

if the book is already on Bookshare, you can download it instantly. If you have requested a book which isn't on Bokshare, I think it takes about 2 weeks.

>> Yes, there are several ways to request a book for Bookshare. If you're a student who needs a book for school then we will prioritize your request. Please e-mail school-related  requests to schoolbookrequest at bookshare.org or use the contact us form on our web page. If the book is not for school, you can add the book to our wish list by e-mailing wishlist at bookshare.org.
