Hi Pavi,
I have some questions about staff e-mail addresses. I think I'm just a
little confused, or misremembering, or something. volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx is
the e-mail address to which you asked us to direct our e-mails about
corrections. Did that change recently? The web site lists
volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Also, I don't know if staff have two personal
e-mail addresses, but I'm unclear whether I should address, for instance,
e-mail to pavi.m@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or pavi.m@xxxxxxxxxxxxx We used to see
benetech addresses, but recently that seems to have changed. I just want to
make sure I send things to the right places.
Thanks for any clarification.
Mayrie

Hi Susan,
Thanks for catching the omission in the title! I've made the correction to
include the subtitle -- it definitely will make the book easier to locate
through a title search.
In cases like this where you need to report and error or make an insertion
to a book already in the collection, it would be great if you (and others)
could send an email to volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx I do read the volunteer lists
(and enjoy them!) but it would help in terms of efficiency to have reports
like these separated out from the other discussion threads. Some of you have
already begun to do this which is terrific!
Truth & Beauty: A Friendship, is a memoir I remember reading and greatly
enjoying -- am glad to know it is in the collection under the right title
(smile)
Thanks as always for your time and work...
All good things,
Pavi Mehta
Volunteer Coordinator, Bookshare

cindy,
what is the official channel to ask for a correction of the title? the book
is about friendship so the subtitle really matters, like for title searches.
I have the previous version and will try to assure that the PQ version is
as good as before. I don't remember any problems with the
volunteer-submitted book.
