I agree....and am glad to see new subjects and categories but want the freedom to continue scanning and proofing what I enjoy most.
That makes volunteering fun. Laura Ann At 03:20 PM 2/12/2009, you wrote:
Amen to that Mike, after all that was one of Bookshare's strengths was that a committee doesn't decree what we should and should not have in the library.I do agree though that a new set of subject and categories is most definitely needed!Shelley L.

It is my hope that she will also appreciate the value of scanners contributing what they want to scan and proof readers proofing what they want to read. We will be helped by a more structured collection because it should make things easier to find, especially if we should want to do some research.Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: <mailto:rhyami@xxxxxxxxx>Monica Willyard To: <mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 10:45 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Meet The New Bookshare Librarian!Pavi, thanks so much for arranging this introduction for us. Many of us have been hoping, praying, and cheering for having a librarian on staff, so this is excellent news for us. It sounds like Benetech has chosen a woman with the right skills for the job, someone who understands digital books and the mission of Bookshare. This is very cool!
