Hi Cindy,
Here's the list Robin is talking about. I have not had time to it check against
the one we have up on the Bookshare Volunteers wiki space but there have been
so many additions this month that I am that one needs an update.
Here's the one on the wiki with imprints included. As promised I'll have the
spreadsheet and downloadable versions back up there by EoD tomorrow with any
additions included:

Feel free to share Robin's update on the list tonight. If you do, nudge people
to continue to send me their favorite publishers who are not on this list for
the "safer" list that Jamie and Roger are compiling to post there also.

Thanks, Robin. That's wonderful--It can be frustrating for volunteers to have
books rejected because a PQ book has come in.
soon we'll all have to look for womething else to do.
Do you guys have any recommendations as to what kinds of books volunteers
should scan,or should members not scan or proof and just enjoy reading? And is
there anything else we volunteers who are not members can do (if we cannot go
out and do other volunteer work) smile

Hi Cindy –
Great to hear from you! I just sent Scott Rains a list of publishers today as
he wanted to publicize this to the volunteers – so I’m copying him to make sure
we don’t trip over each other!
Publishers are giving us EVERYTHING – frontlist (new titles) and backlist
(older titles) – so we have a wonderful bunch of books coming in.
Scott – Do you want to forward the list I sent you today to Cindy.
Also, we need to update the imprints from certain publishers. Let’s talk with
Carrie about how we could update the page with the imprints!
Best,
Robin

Hi, Robin.The list of publisher donors I downloaded is from August 2008. I
wonder if you could please send me an up-to-date list so I can check to see if
books that volunteers are offering to scan will be donated by publishers, e.g.,
in this particular case. Steeple Hill. Also are publishers donating only new
books or older ones, too (I think I remember Carrie saying no to the latter,
when I asked about some older books. It is disheartening for scanners to submit
books only to have them rejected because there is a PQ in the collection
(though he had checked before scanning, ,though not on th right list. :-)
