Hi, Nan. I don't work for Bookshare, and I'm active both on this
list and in the Bookshare chat room. I've been both scanning and
validating books for 2 years now. If you will give me some pointers
on working with the new volunteers you recruit, I will gladly
communicate with them and help them get started. I can't sign them
up as volunteers since I'm not a staff member. I do see the value
in providing both support and friendship to new volunteers in a
timely manner though. It strikes me that our community knows a lot
about working with books, and we as a group don't know as much about
how to find and integrate new volunteers. Some people here have
wonderful people skills, and I have tried to learn from
them. Still, if we have someone who has worked with managing groups
of volunteers, I think it's important to learn from what you're able
and willing to teach us. I'm a techie by nature, and I'm learning
that no matter how much I may know about machines or books, it's
even more important to know about people. Having said that, I am
more of a writer than a talker. How can I be of help to you with
helping new volunteers come on board?
