BlankHello Volunteers! 
I posed this question another volunteer who suggested that I ask the list so 
here it goes. I have several books that the disability office at school has 
scanned for me, the books are textbooks for the Early Childhood Development and 
School Age Child degree program. I was reading through the safe publisher's 
list and that several of the publishers of these books are in the safe column. 
My question is this, if I clean up the scans is it ethical for me to upload 
them to bookshare providing that I did not do the scans myself? These are very 
informative textbooks that can also be read as stand-alone books for those who 
wish to do so. 
I also have a book called, "Lies my Teacher Told Me: Everything Your History 
Got Wrong" and "The Traveling Pants"(which is a book about the eco-friendly 
deham jeans.) Both of these were used as "readers" (stand alone text) for my 
sociology class. Oh yea, how could I forget about the World Religion book (I 
just forgot the name is all-but this was also a stand alone book for the 
sociology class)
Please advise,  
Netta
