Hi All,
E. requested me on the list to write a note to all of you with details
of what kinds of things volunteers can contact me for.
Below is a bulltepointed list of five main areas that you can get in
touch for (as many of you already do):
* Reporting Errors in the Collection: When you run across a title,
author name or other book information that needs to be corrected
* Quality issues: When a particular submission does not in your
view meet BSO standards or you are having trouble validating a certain
file and/or you have some tips you would like to pass on to the
submitter of that file.
* General Volunteering Difficulties/Questions: For anything you
are having trouble with or have a question about that you would prefer
to direct to someone at Bookshare rather than others on the list.
* What Would Bookshare Do? When you want to know what the
standardized way of dealing with something is (for instance photo
captions etc). Or when you would like us to develop a standard approach
for something.
* Suggestions/Requests for the Staff: When you run across
something in the site, current systems or policies that you would like
to see changed/modified in some way.
Many of you have already been doing this and writing to me directly with
these sorts of things. As I've said before, I do read the list and
appreciate it as a platform of communication between the volunteers. And
when I feel it's necessary to send a response to a certain post I do.
But given the traffic on the list and its wide-ranging content, if you
have something you want me to read, and respond to, then sending it to
the list is not the most efficient means. When you would like me to
respond or when you have something to report that needs swift attention
from Bookshare's end please write directly to my address.
As Volunteer Coordinator I see a significant part of my role to be that
of a two-way communication channel. In the event that there is something
related to volunteering that does not quite fall into any of the above
categories that you would like to approach me with please feel free to
do so.
With gratitude as always for your collective contribution,
All good things,
Pavi Mehta

Pavi, might it be possible for you to explain what you do in relation
to us volunteers.
Please let us know as many specifics as possible so we know when to
write to you and when to contact somebody else on staff.
