[bksvol-discuss] Re: Redoing the Bookshare Website

It would be great to have "Hold for" as a separate field.  If it can't be, one 
of the first things a volunteer needs to learn is where it goes and how to put 
it there.  It's a small thing, I suppose, but it's crucial.

  Another request for an enhancement, not the manual, is adding a "hold for" 
field on the book metadata/submission page would really help partners get books 
up right.


  Thanks!

    Hi all, 



    One of our big projects is redoing the Volunteer section of the Bookshare 
website and I would love your input!  As some of you may have noticed, it’s a 
bit out of date and confusing.  Here are just a few questions I came up with 
that I thought might have especially helpful answers.  Feel free to answer one 
question, all, or add other comments if you feel so inclined. Please note that 
this is NOT a discussion about the Volunteer Manual. We are currently working 
on that and will ask for your feedback as soon as we have made more progress on 
it.





    What information would be helpful for new volunteers that is currently 
missing or hard to find?



    What do you think of the current layout of the “Volunteer Overview” page as 
compared to the “Community Overview” page? Is it easier to find what you’re 
looking for? More difficult?



    What do you like least about the Volunteer section of the website?



    What do you like most or find most helpful?



    Is there anything that currently is not on the website but should be?



    For those who use other tools to read the website (such as Screen Readers): 
what are your thoughts?  Is the “Volunteer Overview” page any different from 
the pages on the Bookshare website? 





    Your feedback is very much appreciated, as, of course, is your time and 
effort in the volunteering process. Thanks for everything!



    Best, 



    Madeleine Linares

    Volunteer Coordinator
