Hi Scott and everyone!
I couldn't think of anything specific when this was first posted, but I
have since then done something to hopefully further an interest in Bookshare.
I forwarded the Bookshare blogg entitled:
Sunrise or Tsunami The Rise of Digital Books in the Classroom
to my husband suggesting he forward it to anyone who would be interested at
work. He works at Illinois State University. He forwarded the blog post
to Disability Concerns on campus. I didn't know whether they were familiar
with Bookshare, so I was hoping he would forward it there.

Hi Everyone,
I just met with Bookshare's Marketing Department. They would like your
advice and your help.
Marketers are always watching trends and asking questions about ow to
change them. They have noticed several positive trends:
Your levels of engagement
The fact we have about 100,000 books and 100,000 members
The increase in numbers of new adult members
They are wondering:
What do you say to your friend, or anyone else who you think would
benefit from Bookshare, when you recommend that they join?
Would you be willing to reach out to a handful of people you know to
encourage people to join Bookshare?
Would it help if you could offer them a free trial month as a "holiday
gift" from you?
Let me know here on list and I will communicate your responses to them.
Thanks!
Scott Rains
Benetech Fellow, Bookshare Volunteer Department
