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. Shelley L. Rhodes B.S.

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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
