Welcome three new University Partners! Find out how your school can join the team!

The University Partner program is growing – meaning that more of the books that real students are reading, in real time, are going into the Bookshare collection. Bookshare is pleased to welcome Santa Monica College, Santa Clara University and the University of Arizona to the Partners program! Partners not only serve as informal advisors to the Bookshare University program but also contribute books to Bookshare that they have scanned for their students, building the collection available to everyone.
