I have much the same questions as Elizabeth has, and I'll bet that current
and prospective financial contributors as well as volunteers do also.
These questions cut to the core of whether or not Bookshare.org is

of scanning are spending their time wisely or are just spinning their
wheels?
Sure, we all love the Bookshare concept; but is it working is the issue?
