>> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Another new volunteer introduction
>>
>> Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce myself, as well. I just checked
>>in my
>> first proofed book last weekend and am currently proofing my
>> second. I
>> use a JAWS screen reader and an older version of MS Word (2003,I
>> think).
>> This lap top has served me well or longer than the previous ones
>> I've had,
>> though it gave me more trouble at first. I guess I technically
>> became a
>> volunteer when I uploaded my own book, "Carmella's Quest: Taking
>> On College
>> Sight Unseen," for inclusion in the collection in 2009. I recently
>>became
>> an active proofer and joined this list. Its certainly been an
>> interesting
>> time to join given all the controversy. Fortunately, that doesn't
>> bother
>> me as I've been on email discussion lists for years and know how
>> those kinds
>> of things go. Its interesting to read everyone's thoughts. I
>> didn't quite
>> understand why so many books were on hold when I went to find
>> things to
>> check out either but figured there must be reasons unknown to me
>> as a new
>> volunteer. I was surprised there weren't more books needing
>> proofing, but
>> hoped it was because so many publishers were being generous and
>> making their
>> books available for easy conversion.
>>
>> I have an undergraduate degree in Biblical studies from Columbia Bible
>> College/Columbia International University and do a lot of
>> spiritual reading
>> for my own interest and growth so I don't mind proofing some of the
>> religious books. The ones I snagged had been sitting out there for a
>> while. The one I just finished was about the controversies of the
>> Apostle
>> Paul and I found it very interesting. Having to go over it so
>> carefully and
>> then double check and all that definitely makes one pay attention
>> to the
>> content, I guess. Lots of end notes to put parentheses around
>> and Greek
>> words that spell checkers don't like. With the one I'm doing now (a
>> collection of brief humorous essays) the author is annoyingly
>> addicted to
>> overuse of the m dash.
>>
>> I'm blind from birth due to retinopathy of prematurity. I have a
>> guide dog
>> who is semiretired. She's a 15 year old yellow lab named Maggie.
>> We live in
>> SC, so most of our activities are indoors currently for obvious
>> reasons.
>> I've enjoyed using BookShare for several years. I use it for
>> personal
>> enjoyment and for reading books relevant to my work as a
>> counselor. Self
>> help, books about mental health, and books about relationships are of
>> interest to me for professional as well as personal reasons. I
>> also like
>> intelligent fiction, true crime, mysteries, memoirs, and essay
>> humorists.
>>
>> I've been on this list for a week or so now. I may switch to
>> digest mode
>> soon for time reasons. I love that its an active list since that
>> means so
>> many of you are truly involved and passionate about the work
>> you're doing
>> for BookShare. Its just a little overwhelming since I am on other
>> lists, as
>> well. I also work at a private counseling agency and am always
>> working on
>> writing projects of my own. I want to read and gain as much
>> knowledge as I
>> can here for at least a few weeks since I'm new and know I have a
>> lot to
>> learn. I'd like to get to know some of my fellow volunteers, as
>> well. I'm
>> already getting to know some of you by just reading your posts. I'm
>>glad to
>> be here.
