Hi Valerie,
Thanks for your thoughts. It seems like a lot of people like this idea so I
will see what I can do. I still don’t know exactly how much I’ll be able to
change or which parts of the website I’ll have access too, but I will take that
into account and do my best!
Thanks,
Madeleine

Another request for an enhancement, not the manual, is adding a "hold for"
field on the book metadata/submission page would really help partners get books
up right.
Thanks!
Valerie

Hi all,
One of our big projects is redoing the Volunteer section of the Bookshare
website and I would love your input! As some of you may have noticed, it’s a
bit out of date and confusing. Here are just a few questions I came up with
that I thought might have especially helpful answers. Feel free to answer one
question, all, or add other comments if you feel so inclined. Please note that
this is NOT a discussion about the Volunteer Manual. We are currently working
on that and will ask for your feedback as soon as we have made more progress on
it.
What information would be helpful for new volunteers that is currently missing
or hard to find?
What do you think of the current layout of the “Volunteer Overview” page as
compared to the “Community Overview” page? Is it easier to find what you’re
looking for? More difficult?
What do you like least about the Volunteer section of the website?
What do you like most or find most helpful?
Is there anything that currently is not on the website but should be?
For those who use other tools to read the website (such as Screen Readers):
what are your thoughts? Is the “Volunteer Overview” page any different from
the pages on the Bookshare website?
Your feedback is very much appreciated, as, of course, is your time and effort
in the volunteering process. Thanks for everything!
Best,
Madeleine Linares
Volunteer Coordinator
