This weekend we will upload a newly edited version of the Scanning and
Proofreading Guide. It will remain up through the following weekend (July
24-25) for comment. The manual itself will not be editable so send the comments
to me. I will post here when the manual goes live for this review by the
volunteer community.
Our goal was to do the following so please include these items in your thinking
as you review and comment:
Is the content accurate?
Is the scope of the manual broad enough?
Is the document accessible? (Please specify what browser or AT you use if you
encounter a problem)
Is the document navigable?
Where we include graphics are they sufficiently described? (Note that we have
relegated graphics such as screenshots to child pages two levels below the main
pages. This text-centric strategy is to facilitate rapid reading for blind
volunteers. The screenshots themselves may more often be useful to
sighted-volunteers and were positioned deeper as they do not apply to all
volunteers.)
Is the document something you will be able to use for your own training or
reference?
Is the document something you will be able to use as you train and mentor other
volunteers? If not, please make suggestions either on changes to this document
or on new resources that would help you mentor others.)
Thanks for your help -- and thanks for the encouragement several of you have
given by commenting positively here and other places on the Internet about the
improved quality of Bookshare's collection!
