Barbara,
You should have received some volunteering instructions in an e-mail from
Bookshare. If you didn't, then you can find them at the following website:
www.jbrownell.com/bks
This site also has some tips you should read related to volunteering. You
should definitely read the one titled something like 'Guidelines For
Submission Fields' because it explains how the form should be filled out.
Many volunteers don't bother to read it, and they have their validations
kicked back for the form to be fielled out properly.
You'll find that there's a lot to learn, and the more you learn, the better
your books will turn out. There's not a lot to learn though before you can
contribute, so pick an easy book and give it a try. I'll let others
recommend easy books. If they don't volunteer some easy ones because they
read this message, then just ask once you've done some reading on Jake's
website.
You'll have some more questions after you've read up on what to do, so just
ask the list. That's what it's for.
HTH
Gerald

When I logged in, I saw the Volunteer Home Page, so I guess I am an
approved, volunteer, right? I have already scanned a book and it has been
accepted. So I know how to do that. What I do not know how to do is the
validation process. What do you mean when you say that you have to change
the format? Can I just do everything in Kurzweil, or do I have to change the
format? I want a list of instructions. I do not understand what you mean by
rft, etc. I take it that people get the books through Interlibrary Loan. I
live in San Jose, CA and have a great public library that is attached to an
university so I can order just about anything. Therefore, if anyone needs
help getting books, I can help.
Thanks!
