Hi, Greg, Welcome!!! Theoretically, this is the list where we discuss books, and a new list, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bschat/members?o=6, has been formed for discussions about anything under the sun, because... bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx is the list for volunteers who want to scan and submit books and/or who want to validate books. Some people belong to both. People can ask questions from either list, but the bksvol-discuss list is the best place to ask questions. As you will find, everyone is very friendly--or most people are, anyway--and helpful. We get to know each other and conversations get off the topic of technical or "how to" questions. There began to be some complaints about so many off-topic posts, so the bschat (for bookshare, not that other thing) list was started by Lora. If you're going to scan or validate, I suggest you join the bksvol-discuss list. Even if you don't ask questions yourself, other people's will be helpful to you. Cindy --- "Gregory A.
