Hi E., Allison is on staff according to her post. It has her title underneath her signature, Collection Development Associate HTH, Sue S. ----- Original Message ----- From: "E." <thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 8:32 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: do others like this description? I am strong enough to stay on this list. I am concerned about things and can express that concern. I am extremely confused, though, about who does what -- Alison (is she on staff and if not how can she do work for bookshare which other volunteers are prohited from doing?) and I still do not know what Pavi does and what others such as Carrie do and who does Claire's former work? All in all, I am confused by bookshare's staff secrecy. This is truly confusing to me as a volunteer and extremely frustrating when I wish to contact a staff member about anything. E.
