Emily, it's folks like you, John Enmorino, Carrey Carnos just to name a few,
folks who are not bookshare members but continue to scan books, proofread
books, and, the whole time, you read our rants, whines and complaints on this
list. Yet you go on helpping the rest of us increase the number of books to
read.
That's poorly said, and I probably misspelled everyone's names, but all I'm
trying to say is thanks and you have my highest respect.
Bob

Maybe I'm just idealistic, but I think that as long as volunteers care about
what they're doing, there will ALWAYS be a place for volunteers in Bookshare.
Who really cares what the ratio of volunteer scans is to outsourced scans? Why
would such a ratio make what we all do here obsolete and useless? As long as
someone enjoys the books I work on, I'll never feel unnecessary.
P.S.--I am not print disabled, so I am volunteering for the sake of it, not
to enrich my own reading experiences.
