Hi all,
Marylyn, maybe somebody already answered this one, but this is the story.
Like any other member of Bookshare except students, you have to pay for
your membership.
When you volunteer to submit or to validate books, you receive a $2.50
credit against the $50.00 for your next year's subscription to
Bookshare. Therefore, if you validate or submit twenty books, you get
a free subscription. Any amount of books is fine, they will just take
the amount off the subscription and you'll have to pay the remainder.
So, e.g. if you submit or validate ten books, you get half the price
off, and you pay the remainder. Hope this is clear?
No, of course you do not have to pay in order to volunteer.

Hi, Sue. Thanks for answering so fast.
I thought volunteers didn't have to pay anything. Was I wrong?

Hi Marilyn,
The credits are used to pay for your next subscription. If you
earn enough,
you won't have to pay anything when it is time to renew your
subscription.
The site keeps track of it automatically, and you can check on how
much
credit you have earned by clicking on "my account."
HTH,
Sue S.

Thanks, Mayrie. I thought I'd better make sure the process was
still the
same, before putting the finishing touches on a couple of books.
One other question: Has the amount of credit for validating
changed? The
Volunteer Manual said 50 cents, as I expected, but theVolunteer
Home Page
says $2.50 for both submitting and validating.
Thanks again,
Paula

Hi Paula,
Yes to both questions. Chapter headings still need to be
protected by something above them. And tabs still need to be
replaced with spaces for the reasons you state.
So glad to have another submitter!
Peace,
Mayrie

Hello,
After a much longer than expected break from submitting
books, I am
getting re-acquainted with the proper procedures. I read the
Volunteer
Manual, which is very well done, but I have a couple of
questions that >do
not seem to be addressed
there.
I recall that it used to be helpful to put something at the
top of
pages that did not have headers, to keep text such as chapter
titles >from
being stripped. Is this still necessary?
Also, tabs used to be removed in the process of converting
books to
DAISY format. It was recommended that all tabs be replaced with
spaces
prior
to submitting books, to keep words from being wrongly joined
when tabs
were
stripped. Is it still best to get rid of tabs?
Thanks,
Paula
