Hi Bookworm101, Unfortunately, no, we have no mechanism for doing that. The best we can d is tightly adhere to our discussion group rules that this is a list for Bookshare volunteers to discuss issues related to volunteering with Bookshare with an emphasis on scanning and proofreading. Then all side conversations should take place via private email.

What I mean by that is there a way we can some how chat privately withought using this site. I'm fine with google be surchable but I don't want something that has repercussion for people like me from getting a job. If someone takes the email the wrong way. Also, I've seen a big increase in my spam late sense I joined. You take things very well but other don't. I sujust you take of your signers with your websites,email, and socail Media information. Can we set up so sort of Private messaging system to all of list members? How do me move to "personal". Also, to theses who send their personal email and phone number just be ware.

Part of the list host's business model is that the posts are searchable by Google. This means that our conversations here are not private. Ts has obvious implications for issues such as civility and how we want to be personally perceived through the public legacy we leave in our posts. It also requires us to be sensitive to using the preferred identifiers of others on the list. In some cases people have important reasons for remaining known only by their screen names. Please honor that. One way to limit mistakes is to quickly move OT and personal conversation to private email Scott Rains Benetec Fellow From: Nadia Cioffi <cioffi.nadia@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:cioffi.nadia@xxxxxxxxx>> Reply-To: "bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>" <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>> Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2011 14:33:39 -0700 To: "bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>" <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: @all bookshare helpers: lost book title and isbn for gaming books no poroble thanks to all you that Scan all the books if you need something that dose not involve scanning let me know and I'l try. I always scan things backwards or with to much glare where the OCR can't change it. If get the book with a CD then I do it though. Has anyone put up windows 7 step by step under computer and OS. I didn't have an account at the time so I let my friend take credit for it. Have a nice day and hope to help more Bookwormhelper101 P.S I think everyone should start doing if you type your name into google then it will find all them emails we send using freelists and rather not have that so if you don't mind refereeing to me as bookworm101 that way google does not make the connection between my email and first name. You get a lot less spam that way.

That's a lot of hours at your computer. Thank you for trying though. My guess is that, because it's such a small company, they might not have paid for an ISBN. That's the only thing I can think of. I'll e-mail Bookshare and ask them what I should do. Thanks again for all the time you put into this.

Tried google Amazon, ask, Bing and may others with advanced search found both of the books, but no ISBN number(s) I would email someone and ask them if you should put them up. That seems really odd to me that there are no ISBN on any common book site. Also, including google books. It maybe possible that book is not being made and people where making copies of some of them. I'm usually really good with Internet, but after 3-4 hours of searching 10 pages of most popularly search engains. I don't think your going be able to find it. Unless some works a Library and can look it up in some kind of book database. Sorry I could not be any help at all <sad face>. I makes me sad when I can't help in anyway. Like I said would ask one of bookshare team members and see what they say. It may also be out of copyright. Which means it's so old it's free and people can sell without getting in trouble. Also, If anyone has access to database for books and ISBN number. if you would not mind to trying for her. Well someone is at is their anyway to see if the book "public domain" free to copy and use if that's the case you sold be able to post it without having copyright consent. If someone knows this law that might be helpful too. Whis you luck, NC On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 10:47 AM, Christina <greensleeves1@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:greensleeves1@xxxxxxxxx>> wrote: Hi, Nadia. I had a sighted person look through the book but maybe you'll have more luck with the internet. Both books are by Susan Van Camp. The first is called Dragon Storm Guide Book 1: Valarian Champions and has a copyright date of 1998. The second book title is Dragon Storm Guide Book 2: Necromancers Manifesto and also has a copyright of 1998. Thank you for your help.
