Hi all,

OK, OK, Scott, thank you for at least letting us know what you were doing instead of just admonishing us about what we were doing.

Question? Can a volunteer send a sighted helper who is also a Bookshare volunteer a garbled page? Is there a designated way for two volunteers to exchange a book manuscript? There are ways to release books and reject books, maybe there should be a way for volunteers to exchange work?

Could a proofer send a page or two or even a book to an exchange site where it could be picked up by another volunteer?

I know that there may be occasions when entire books may need to be proofed by a sighted person after a blind proofer has looked them over. This is particularly true of cookbooks where fractions do not scan well. Again, is there a designated way for someone to get help with something like this?

Ann P.
