Hello Alisa & all:
Congratulations!! That is fantastic! I only wish I had more time to scan.
We have a huge personal library, mostly history, philosophy, science and of
course the classics, that I'd love to scan and share with all of you. I'll
be working on it,... one book at a time.
Again, congratulations!
Vivian

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)?
