Hi, Gary,
On the page that comes up after you log-in, enter on the link "My
Bookshare."
The link "Volunteer home" should be there. It is under the fourth heading (I
pressed H four times".
I also used the list of links to find it, and In the list of links I hit V
and the volunteer home was the forty-sixth link.
That being said, when I entered on "My Bookshare" I could not find the link
the first time. I entered on "My bookshare" link again, and did find what I
indicated above. However, I don't know; things seem confusing and hard to
find for me. I am using i.e. 11 and Window Eyes 8.4.
I am a medium to advanced computer user, but I am unfortunately finding this
new site confusing and not at all intuitive, but it is what it is, I guess.
Lori

I have been spending more time with this page. Time I could have well spent
on a book. I can now report that NVDA with MSIE 11 doesn't even report a
volunteer link and I've gone through that login page more than once. That's
two screen readers which don't work and one browser. It would seem to me
that one would actively have had to avoid finding this out.
Btw, I loaded NVDA and logged in. Then I religiously tabbed through Every
link and heard nothing that said volunteer home or even volunteer. And I
have half a dozen books within one or two pages of being submitable.
