Scott or anyone else with Bookshare, Any help with my account would still be appreciated. I styill have no volunteer option when I sign in and I’ve done all the obvious things like clearing cookies, browser cache and such. My account says the app to volunteer is still in the queue. I never did change my status to the best of my knowledge and would just like to submit a book. I used a contact form on the Bookshare site but still have never heard back.

It doesn't always remain; sometimes you have to do it again.

On that page is a link labeled "submit a book". That will take you to a page where you can then browse to, select, and upload your book. The "browse" option is a button which opens the standard dialogue that you'd see when downloading something. Once you've selected your file to upload, you can hit enter on the "upload" button. Once that's been done, you get to a page which tells you that your book is being processed, or something like that. Just wait a bit here. In a minute or so, you'll be on a page telling you about the book that you've uploaded, the number of incorrectly spelled words, the number of pages in the book, whether or not the book is considered to have adult content, and an edit box into which you can type the ISBN of the book, and a next button which sends you to the page where you fill out all of the metadata (often this is filled out for you for the most part), and you just follow the "next" buttons until you get a page which thanks you for submitting a book. Sorry if that's way too much information! Let us know if you still have trouble. Glad to have you back submitting books!

I’m not finding that option. I don’t recall withdrawing as a volunteer but if you can point me where to go on the site to submit these days I’d appreciate it.

I have some again from recent scans but when I went to try and submit, I do not see any submit options. I looked under my account for volunteering and it says my application to volunteer is in the queue. I had been listed as a volunteer for years previously. Has something changed and if so what do I need to do to get current so I can submit books? Thanks, Kelly
