Hi, Cindy and Paula! Actually, this is the general discussion list for
Bookshare. You can join the volunteer list by sending a message to
bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and putting the word Subscribe in the
subject line. Cindy, you're already on that one. <Smile> I know this can
be confusing as both lists overlap sometimes. Hope this helps!
