Join us on Thursday, April 15 at 3:00 p.m. central

time for the monthly online

ebookworm show! The show is hosted by Tom Peters of

TAP Information Services and

sponsored by the Mid-Illinois Talking Book Center.

Our guest will be Peter

Scialli. Dr. Scialli is an Associate for Technical

Projects with Bookshare.org

(www.bookshare.org), which is a project of the

Benetech Initiative. Bookshare is

an online community enabling scanned books to be

shared, thus leveraging the

collections of thousands of individuals who regularly

scan books for use by

print-impaired individuals
