I have looked around my library and so far have come up with not much.
My other interests are

And on occassion a kids book or two.

But am happy to scan.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Hi. Thanks, but I was on the volunteer list for a long time. There
was way too much traffic and off topic posts. Also, I would want a
separate, small focus group. I don't want to compete with 50-100
messages a day. Things get lost that way and threads are just too
hard to follow. I couldn't keep up and I found there was little
point. Also, I am an official volunteer, I've just taken a break for
the past year or so.
My interest in a specialized mailing list is to attract people who
are particularly interested in that specific genre. There is no
point in making everyone else on a list read about scanning projects
etc. Also when I ask people to donate books, I don't want every
volunteer knowing about it. When the donated books actually get
scanned, that's different of course. Finally, I plan to issue press
releases as the various lists are formed and I know many sighted
people wouldn't want to join the volunteer list and wouldn't really
belong anyway. My basic idea was to have a small version of Project
Gutenberg in how things are done. A few people gather books, a few
scan them, and anyone can validate them once they are
uploaded. Things get moving quicker that way. Volunteers from
either list are of course welcome to join my mailing list, it's open
to all unlike the official volunteer list for bookshare.
I have a dedicated server so running a few mailing lists is no
problem for me. If anyone else has a specific genre they're
interested in and want a lit just for it, please ask and I'll work with you.
