Hi
Being so new to this whole bookshare thing I found a couple of words I don't
know definitions for, what is the book score? And what is wiki? System
Access could be included or serotech. Or, for that matter windoweyes.

Bookshare Volunteers,
This week it occurred to us just how differently we sometimes use words
here at Bookshare.
We certainly have our own set of abbreviations and acronyms. What other
online community can hold such erudite discussions of ellipses, scanner
settings, or British punctuation for so long? Where else can you cause
such turmoil if you confuse "submit" with "check-in"?
As we brainstormed what sort of orientation and training material to
create for new volunteers we found that we had generated a word list that
could be the start of a glossary. Read through the list below. If you
think of other words, acronyms, or concepts that we might be helpful for
new volunteers gather them up and email them to me or - if you want to
hold the discussion online - post them to the list for others to add to.
Enjoy the long weekend.
Scott Rains
Bookshare Volunteer Coordinator, Interim
