Hi all. In response to Roger's question, there were 7,124 books contributed by
publishers in 2011, and 397 books added by Bookshare, in addition to the books
submitted by you, our volunteers.
Yours a huge accomplishment, given that you are scanning books in one page at a
time (often using older equipment), and you are adding books to the collection,
that otherwise would never be there...I'd love to know how many volunteer hours
nearly 1,900 books add up to?!
What are you thoughts? How many average hours do you think each book takes to
add by a volunteer (including scanning, proofing, editing/resubmitting titles)?
