Hi Ibrihim,
And welcome to the list. And it is perfectly fine whatever books you wish
to scan and prevalidate. I also read through my books before uploading
them, just garnetees in mind their quality.
Welcome to the volunteering pool and any resource is a valuable one.
Especially with the Middle East being such a hot topic right now.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Hello Everybody,
My name is Ibrahim Ali. I joined this list two days ago, and added my
name
to the list of bookshare volunteers at the beginning of January. I am a
Professor
of Middle East history and politics at the University of Maryland and
Georgetown university. I am totally blind and an avid reader. Because I
do
not have
a lot of free time at my disposal, I choose to submit or review for
validation, books which are somewhat related to my job. This way I would
be
using
my volunteering time in the most efficient and beneficial way for myself
and
for bookshare. No surprise then that all the books I reviewed for
validation
in the last few weeks were Middle East related.
I thoroughly read and proofread every book I submit or validate. I know
that it is not very efficient way of helping an organization which has
hundreds
of books awaiting scanning or validation, but it guarantees a high quality
turned in products.
I hope to learn more about this organization and its volunteers through
this
list.
Regards,
Ibrahim Ali
