I think the question was asked because books with plenty of
Daisy markup were wanted. Publisher quality books are lacking in that.
Outsourcers are organizations that are hired by Bookshare to proofread
and, I think, to submit books. They are typically organizations that
hire or train blind people for employment. An example is Worth Trust. If
you see any books in the collection that are labeled as submitted or
proofed by Worth Trust then that is an organization in India that works
with blind Indians. There are other such outsourcers from Africa, the
United States and elsewhere too.

Hi,
This question might sound dumb or whatever but who cares. What are outsourcers?

Try going to the advanced search. Go down the page until you find the
check boxes for the quality of books you are searching for. Uncheck
publisher quality and be sure the other qualities are checked and then
click go. The results that are returned should be books that were not
submitted by publishers. I get 69,077 results. This will include both
books produced by volunteers and by the outsourcers.

Anything that doesn't say PQ is a book done by volunteers.
You should fill out a quality report on the book that has no page
breaks or numbers, and then it will be fixed.

Taking time out from proofing for a few days to read a book from
the collection. The book has absolutely no page breaks or page
numbers. Do you think it might be a publisher book? Publisher
books are not proofed by us, right? How can you find our books as
opposed to the publisher books in the collection?
