Hi Melissa!
Excellent points, too.
I have felt like so many list members were my mentors in the
beginning. Having one mentor who used the same software as the new
volunteer would be very helpful, because that mentor would understand what
the particular software does and how to set it up for what is best.
Thanks Melissa for wanting the best quality books in the collection. I'm
with you and anyone else in this camp all the way.

Jamie's comment about volunteers not knowing what they don't know and
possibly having test proofs, sparked some ideas. I think new volunteers
should tell Bookshare what software they are using to scan or proof, and
be matched with experienced volunteers, using similar software, who have
agreed to be mentors. The new volunteer should be sent files pertaining to
their specific software, and do test runs before actually beginning to
scan or proof materials. They can contact their mentor at any time if they
run into issues. These are just my ideas, and my desire is to get the
highest quality books into the collection.
