The Brockport Bookshelf

Just after the close of the spring semester, Debby brought me a list of items that Brockport was the publisher for, to consider for digitization and placement in the Brockport Bookshelf. A few were already in there, full text, and I am slowly working my way through others, trying to obtain permission.

Monday, I contacted the Balogs (Linda and Joseph), to ask for permission to digitize Stress Management for Children: a guide for parents, which they readily agreed to, and Kirsten quickly dispatched the job and it is now uploaded. Let's hope for lots of downloads! Today my quest was to seek out Dr. Richard Evans, formerly of Brockport, now in Memphis to request permission for (and a copy of) Capital Programming : A Manual for Vermont Municipalities. 

Along with these duties, I am checking and updating books that don't have a cover image.

6/27/2014: Update on the Vermont book - I heard back from Dr. Evans, who nicely informed me that he wasn't the author of that book (different Richard Evans?). Since we don't actually own a copy of this anyway, I withdrew the book from the repository.
