[bksvol-discuss] Re: Privacy between volunteers in Bookshare

Yes, I have no problem with the organization knowing the volunteer.  Most
organizations know their volunteers.  I know some way needs to be had to
resolve problems which may occur with or between volunteers.  But a
volunteer needs to have the right to remain private if he/she wishes.

Hi all:

I know the issue of giving out personal info can be extremely problematic
for a lot of people.

For people for whom this is the case, here's a suggestion.  Create an E-mail
address/identity that is soley for bookshare matters.  The main thing is
having somewhere to send questions as a proofer; it doesn't have to be your
main E-mail address.

Scott, isn't it true that you can list a "nickname" on your profile which
can be clicked to show the books you've scanned/proofread?  If this is still
the case, create a nickname and then make an address under that name.
I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear; if anyone wants clarification, just
let me know.
