Lost Dog now available through Bookshare.org


Benetech Bookshare.org adds Lost Dog to its huge and growing library of online books for the community of visually impaired and otherwise print disabled individuals. As the Bookshare.org About Us page explains, "This online community enables book scans to be shared, thereby leveraging the collections of thousands of individuals who regularly scan books, eliminating significant duplication of effort. Bookshare.org takes advantage of a special exemption in the U.S. copyright law that permits the reproduction of publications into specialized formats for the disabled."

I've worked with Benetech, the parent of Bookshare.org for many years now as a graphic design and web development contractor. The company does great work, not only with Bookshare.org for the visually impaired, but in the areas of literacy, human rights, and natural resource conservation. I encourage everyone to visit not only Benetech.org, but also Martus.org, Route66Literacy.org and Miradi.org to learn more about their powerful initiatives to, quite simply, make the world a better place.
