The procedure for becoming a volunteer has considerably changed since I registered as a volunteer. I would suggest sending an email to volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and asking about what it entails. Also, on the Bookshare pages near the top there is a link to the volunteer home page. Click through to that and read as much as you can find. Be sure to read the volunteer manual. That may appear to be a bit daunting at first, but it is unlikely that you will do every volunteer job available so you can concentrate on the parts that interest you and eventually learn the rest. Subscribe to the volunteer list. You can find a link to do that on the same page you found this list on.

The problem is that it must catch the attention of a volunteer and then the volunteer has to acquire a hardcopy, scan it, submit it and then it has to be proofread. All that means that it could take a while before your request is fulfilled if it ever is. To make a request send it to wishlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx The volunteers get a weekly email with the list attached. They then browse the list and if they want to tackle any books listed there they proceed to do so. It might be a good idea to register as a volunteer too if you want to participate in getting books into the Bookshare collection.
