Good to know thanks Scott, and as for the URL's of the BBS list you gave me, I'll write you off list thanks.
Chela Robles AKA Trumpeter CB, or Chris Botti --"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever. It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti--

Volunteers,You will shortly see something new in the Book Checkout List. I wanted to alert you so you are not confused.So far this month Bookshare has received 136 new volunteer sign ups. Since we prepare a book for each individual new volunteers the sheer volume of processing has bottlenecked that system. Fortunately we had previously decided that to begin assigning the same book to every new volunteer. That new practice begins today.The name of this new book just for beginners is "Summer of Secrets ." You will see dozens of copies in the List in this format:Hold for [volunteer name]: Summer of Secrets for example: Hold for Jane D.: Summer of SecretsWe know that adding so many copies of this book could be confusing. If you are browsing for a new book to work on you can sort the checkout list by title to gather all reserved "Hold for..." books into a block that you can then skip.In the end, this gives our new volunteers an extra training step. We have intentionally left a scattering of typical scannos in the book. Rick has written a new section in the training manual to step volunteers through their first book and we will be recruiting volunteers to help grade submissions.On another note, several of you may have books checked out that are about due for renewal. If they are likely to come due while you are away for the holiday Carrie encourages you to contact her so she can renew it for you before the due date.Scott Rains Benetech Fellow, Bookshare Volunteer Department ________________________________________ To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
