Apparently so. When I sent that last message I had not yet seen Amanda's post
on the matter. According to her it is possible to give at least a little push
to the publisher to contribute a certain book.

Well, if they can't determine what the publishers give to Bookshare, it seems reasonable to suppose that they certainly ought to know how to get in touch with them and communicate an interest in a particular book from one or more Bookshare members. That may be enough to move the needle in the case of a new book that perhaps the publisher hasn't decided on yet.To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to
The worst case scenario is that after a few weeks, nothing happens, I buy the book, read it and add it to Bookshare. So there's really no downside in my inquiring about it.

I'm not sure that the publisher liaison can answer the question anyway.
As I understand it the publishers contribute whichever books they want
and do it when they want and withdraw whichever books they want when
they want to. If that is the case I don't think the publisher liaison
can help much.

Hey Guys,
Does anybody recall the name, and more importantly, the email address of
Bookshare???s Publisher Liaison? If memory serves, it was, and perhaps still
is, someone named Betsy Bowman, (spelling of last name uncertain).
I want to ask the Bookshare Publisher Liaison if she, or he, knows whether
Bookshare is going to get a certain book from a certain publisher because I
really want to read it. According to my Advanced search yesterday, Bookshare
does get books from MIT Press. The book I want to read was released
yesterday, but Bookshare doesn???t have it yet. I???m spoiled, I know, but it???s
all Bookshare???s fault. That???s my story and I???m sticking to it. <smile>
If Bookshare is not getting it, I will certainly buy it and add it to the
collection.
For anyone who might be curious, it???s the new book by James Lovelock,
Novacene: The Coming Age of Hyperintelligence.
