Thanks Pam. We have been on FB for quite a while but maybe Marketing ran an
appeal for volunteers recently. I'll check

Scott,
How long has the site been on Facebook? Could be more interest from friends of
friends that never heard about it before?
I found out about Bookshare school the S.D. public schools. They started
handing out fliers about Bookshare for the past year or so for
learning-disability children.
Just a couple of ideas,
Pam

Hi team,
Rick and I have been trying to understand why there has been a sudden influx of
volunteers wanting to do scanning and proofreading for Bookshare. I can't
account for it due to any campaigns we have going from this end. Are any of you
aware of any possible contributing factors?
Here is some of the trend data:
Recent monthly totals of signups:
July 38
Aug 28
Sep 35
Oct 42
Signups for Nov, just thru Nov 15: 53!
It began around Tue Nov. 9th.
Features of the current campaign that are atypical of signups over recent
months:
1) over the past week we have averaged >5 signups per day (39 total):
This is 3-4x the usual rate.
2) almost all new signups are <not> members
