| For 10 years, Bookshare has been providing books in accessible formats for people with print disabilities. The next ten years offer new challenges for Bookshare around content, tools and utilization. What new approaches are on the horizon to solve problems of access? In addition to DAISY and BRF formats, Bookshare will be making all books in English and Spanish available in two, text-to-speech audio formats: MP3 audio and DAISY audio. Other innovations include a cloud-based ?bookshelf? accessible from the Bookshare website, Read2Go, Go Read (the free Android accessible e-reader), or dozens of other AT products from other vendors. Bookshare is also looking ahead to other projects, as well as continuing its work describing images using the Poet tool developed under DIAGRAM, and providing them as open content assets for all to use.
