The option to provide a book review appears when you are on the download
page for the book.  So if you scroll down past the links for downloading the
book either in Daisy or BRF, and past the long synopsis, you will find a
statement about the number of reviews for that book.  I've only seen 0
reviews thus far.  But then there is a link to click if you'd like to submit
a review for that book.  There must be a shorter way to describe this!

I think reviews would be helpful, but I confess that when I'm looking for
reading material, it's, not surprisingly, stuff I haven't read before, and
when I've completed the book, I seem to lack motivation to go back and put
in a review.  I kind of think this is something that should be promoted
outside the volunteer pool.  Not that volunteers can't participate, but
because I kind of feel like we fool around with the books enough as it is.
Maybe BookShare could promote having all those subscribers to the program
write reviews?  Does anyone know how many subscribers there are on
BookShare?

Peace and Hope,

Donna
