FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

Jim Fruchterman, Benetech CEO and Founder of Bookshare.org, To Be  Guest
of
Friends of Bookshare
Tuesday, November 27, 2007


Topic:  The Future of Bookshare.org


We are especially pleased to announce that next Tuesday the Friends of
Bookshare
will be privileged to have Jim Fruchterman, the founder of
Bookshare.org, as
its
honored guest. During his presentation, he will explore his vision for
the
future,
will discuss the challenges of delivering high quality textbooks while
maintaining
the user-created spirit of Bookshare.org, and will talk about the
expansion
to serve
all students with print disabilities in the
U.S.
, while starting to support International Bookshare.org, as well.

In the blindness community, Jim Fruchterman is truly a legend. Not only
did
he create
a massive, not for profit, web-based library of downloadable accessible
eBooks, made
legally available to blind , visually impaired and print handicapped
people
but he
invented the well-known Open Book reading access machines,
using technology originally meant for the military. Much of his time is
devoted to
his responsibilities as CEO of Benetech, but also in assisting numerous
human rights
organizations throughout the world. In all of his endeavors, Jim's
explicit
goal
has been to use the power of technology to serve humanity.
