I believe they would be quite acceptable and quite useful.

As long naturally as they have a copuyright.

Smile.

I have done teaching materials before and as long as there aren't Answer 
keys in them, they are acceptable to the sight.

What a shame that the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts can't provide their 
materials in accessible format.

Go for it.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Boy Scout meritbadge booklets


Hi all,

I am hoping that I can get an official statement on this.

My wife and I have been very involved with the Scouts over a large number of 
years.  I have tried over those years to obtain the meritbadge booklets in 
either braille or electronically.  I was never able to.

My wife would like to scan and OCR them now so I can submit them to 
Bookshare.  We'd like to be able to make them available to other blind Scout 
leaders or blind Scouts via Bookshare.

Would these booklets fall within the allowed materials that Bookshare can 
accept or would we be violating Bookshare's policies?

Thanks.
