Thanks for taking it so good Kim. 

I really think you will enjoy the discussions on the bookshare list much 
better. For example, we have a discussion going on over there right now about 
the worst book you've ever read. Most of us on this list belong to both groups 
and interact with both groups pretty easily. Though that does mean a lot of 
email.

Most of the discussion with this group is about preparing books for the 
bookshare collection, though occasionally we get out of line. We discuss which 
books people want, which books are being scanned, best methods for scanning, 
and how to proofread a book for the collection.

Hope this helps.

  Hi, Bob. I'm definitely interested in talking about the bookshare collection, 
what stuff I've downloaded, what I'd like to see in the collection. I really 
didn't wish the volunteer list member list to be mad at me, although I am 
interested in what's being scanned and proofread on general principle. I'm very 
glad someone told me about Bookshare and I'm very pleased to have joined. So if 
you folks talk about books, this is definitely for me. Let me know if I've 
grasped the breadth of what is discussed here. Thanks a lot for letting me 
know. I look forward to corresponding with people. Regards, Kim Friedman.

  Hi Kim.
  This is taken from the bookshare site under membership:

  . Join the Members discussion and meet other Bookshare Members. This 
discussion group is often your best source for good hands-on information. 
Members share
  tips about using Bookshare, discuss books they are reading, and talk about 
print access topics such as scanning or reading technology or just about 
anything
  else they think would be of interest to other Members. This is a very active 
list. Once you have subscribed, you may want to change your settings to "digest
  form" (see below) which typically means one email a day containing all of the 
emails sent to the list that day. 
  list of 2 items nesting level 1
  . Subscribe: Send a blank email with "subscribe" in the subject line to: 
  bookshare-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 
  . Digest Form (one email per day): Once you have subscribed, send a blank 
email with "set digest" in the subject to: 
  bookshare-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 

  If you have problems, ask and I'm sure someone on this list can help.

    Hi Kim,

        I'd go to the freelists web site and search for "bookshare-discuss" as 
a list name without the quotes.  Once you find it, I'm sure you'll be able to 
find directions for how to subscribe.  I'm certain it's very similar to 
whatever you did to subscribe to this list.  I don't remember exactly how to do 
it, or I'd just give you instructions.  Perhaps someone else on the list 
remembers.

    Good luck!

    Mayrie

    Hi Kim,

        I notice that a lot of your messages are off topic.  You might have 
more fun with this if you were to join the bookshare-discuss list.  It's more 
about books in general and not designed to be specifically for 
volunteering-related subjects.

    Hi, gang, Kim here. You've just provided me with more ammunition to 
inveigle people to join Bookshare. I solemnly swear to see what I can do here. 
I say this because I know some folks who play virtual games of chess. Check out 
for-the-people.com and see what I mean. There are people there who play chess, 
golf, poker, etc. Think of what could happen should some of those people join! 
Will we be inundated with books on various card games and golf? What's a poor 
non-sports/games player to do? Any plans to do something regarding where one 
can find role-playing games and how to play them? Regards, Kim aka Ellinder.

    Hi Jamie,

    Maybe they will be encouraged when they see that the book got into the 
collection and do more chess books.

    Great, thanks! The submitter sounded like he or she (I can't remember who 
it was and did not recognize the name) really did a lot of work on the book. 
That's the only reason I decided to give it a try and see if it needed any 
final touches.
