Gwen and All,
I had the chance to poke my head into Benetech founder Jim Fruchterman's office
this afternoon. It was unannounced and informal - just to see if my approach to
volunteering at Bookshare was in line with his.
I know that at times you can feel far removed from the action by working
virtually. I can assure you that a sense of the value of your commitment and
contribution is alive and well at the very top level here! I'm glad to be able
to tow the company line on that corporate value and be able to make life easier
for you where I can.

Folks,
We realize that the practice of inserting "Hold for..." in the scanning list
makes finding a book to scan more difficult when using a screen reader. To
address this we have submitted a request to our engineers to create an
option for sorting on "Hold for" to create lists that consist entirely of
books with or without that tag. Fulfillment of these sorts of requests
remains somewhat of a mystery even to us in-house. I am not saying that this
issue will be resolved soon just that it is on its way to someboay's desk
who is capable of resolving it.
Later this week a local used bookstore holds a 25% off sale. Bookshare
staff will swoop down on them and bring back new titles for you to scan.
