Hi Roger and Cindy, You both are still correct. This was an exceptional case in which Katherine and Robin were in communication about the situation. Cindy, you did exactly the right thing before: if someone does want to connect with a specific publisher and/or author, please contact Robin Seaman (Director of Content Acquisition) before doing so. We are always grateful for any connections that people can make for us, but we do ask that you contact Robin before doing so, so that everyone can be on the same page. Sorry for the confusion! Best, Madeleine Linares Volunteer Coordinator Bookshare, a Benetech Initiative 650-644-3459 madeleinel@xxxxxxxxxxxx Join us in celebrating our 10th Anniversary! -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cindy Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2012 4:07 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: FW: Poisoned Pen Press Has Signed Our Agreement True. Thanks to Katherine but perhaps the policy should be madeclear again. I, too, thought what Roger thought, and I think in the past i have given Robin the nemae and possibly email of an author to contact instead of contacting her myself.. >________________________________ > From: Roger Loran Bailey <rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx> >To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2012 12:46 PM >Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: FW: Poisoned Pen Press Has Signed Our Agreement > > >I thought that all of us volunteers and Bookshare subscribers were admonished >firmly to not contact publishers or authors about contributing to Bookshare. >
