Hi Nan,
You could be useful in that way, but you will have to specify that right now
Bookshare accepts volunteers in the USA only. It is too bad about your
friends from foreign countries, but it is documented on the bookshare.org
website.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] How I might best benefit bookshare
I wonder if I can be more useful to Bookshare by
lending my skills as a recruiter of other volunteers?
i am finding I have a time crunch for validating, and I
think I can help find lots of new volunteers to do that
task.
What do you think?
I do have one requirement. You have to promise to get
bvack to people who contact Bookshare within two
working days.. My moaning about volunteers on the
discussion list was not about Bookshare but the endemic
tendency of all volunteer programs to leave people
hanging.. and then being all surprised when they go
elsewhere. I made up the joke once "How many managers
of volunteer resources does it take to change a light
bulb?" Answer, "Just one, but it'll take a month and
several phone calls." The fact that that joke ticks
off so many volunteer resources managers says to me
that the joke is too close to home. I won't give away
my expertise if it will be squandered. But I also will
help, if it is needed, put in place a procedure that
ensures people who inquire hear back a lot faster than
I did.
Be ye well,
Nan Hawthorne
