Hi all. In response to Christina's question about using Bookshare as a
reference, that is absolutely fine. I can easily look up the date you started
(that is, the first book you submitted) and how many books you've submitted
(scanned and/or proofed). In some cases, I can also write a letter of
reference if needed/appropriate (as can Mayrie). I've done this if someone was
seeking paid employment and/or housing, as a character reference.
Kind regards,
AlisaMoore

Hi Christina and Alisa,
I'm CC-ing Alisa the new volunteer program manager on this, Christina.
I have been volunteering I believe since you started volunteering, and am now
staff, so can confirm that you have been volunteering for Bookshare for a long
time.
Either Alisa can look up your date of beginning volunteering, or you can give
me the name of either a book that you scanned or proofread so that I can make
a note somewhere about the duration of your volunteering, if you'd like to use
me as a reference.
Alisa, if you think it more appropriate that you be the reference, I completely
understand that. Please also know that besides scanning and proofreading,
Christina has aided in creating documents helpful to the teaching of new
volunteers.
Sorry for the ramble!
Mayrie

Hi, Valerie.
Thanks for the info.
I am also told I need to have people at the places where I volunteer or work
confirm that I was a volunteer/employee.

One quick way to check is to pick a book you scanned or proofread (whichever
you did first) and click on your name and go back to your oldest, unless it has
been replaced, of course.I started proofing July of 2009 and scanning a month
later.

Hello.
I am updating my resume and would like to know if Bookshare keeps records of
when each person began volunteering.
I thought other volunteers might be interested in this so I am posting my
inquiry here.
Thank you.
Christina
