A resource for accessible books
Bookshare.org is part of Benetech, a company that is always looking for technology solutions that empower people and change their lives. Bookshare is a subscription based digital library of books, magazines and newspapers designed for people with print disabilities.You may join as a yearly subscriber with access to all of the material for download or you may purchase individual books/magazines/newspapers for a fee. Copyrighted material is protected and certain rules and restrictions apply. It is a wonderful opportunity for people who have not been able to access latest best seller or participate in book groups at the local coffee shop. Has anyone seen any other digital libraries that contain material beyond the classics? How do your students access novels and other reading materials required in core subjects?
Here is the website.
