Ann makes some good points but here's something thatshould save some people
time amd frustration: If you check kn your profed book with problems
unfixed, e.g. ann's chapter titles, you will receive a message from the
administratator that they need to be fixed.I mean if one can't tell that
there's something wrong pr what it might be go ahead and check in teh
book and you'll get a message; at least I have kn teh past; hopefully the
ssysstem hasn't changed adn they don't jyst reject one's work. I've checked
in books thinking chapter titles were fine because the scanner was known to
me to be an excellent scanner; I didn't check them -- they looked fkne,
i.e.proper font, no scannos, but it turns out they weren't in proper
order so I was told adn had to change them. Now I c heck every time smile
CIdythey weren't all in correct order

Hi Ann,
I sure hope you're sending this concern to the volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
email, and not just here. I'm not certain if anyone on the staff regularly
reads email that's on this list, so I'd would send it to that email
address, if you haven't already.

Hi all,
Well, as the old farmer's wife said, "If I knowed you was comin', I'd have
baked a cake."
You nailed it on the head. If I had only known I would have written to
Volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and probably gotten an answer. I rejected the
book because I couldn't get the info I needed like chapter headings.
Apparently, the chapter headings were graphics or something, so they didn't
scan. So I had no idea except my best guess as to where they were supposed
to go. Frustrating because there really wasn't much else wrong with the
book.
It would be truly helpful if the volunteer coordinator would spend a
little more time on this list, and be available to answer questions. What
would be even more helpful is actually receiving a notification about such
things instead of having to throw away perfectly good work through
ignorance.
I guess I sound a bit frustrated, but really, a newsletter about once
every three months is hardly communication with one's volunteers.
Twitter is available, so is facebook, so is this list. using it to remind
volunteers that wish List scans are done by staff and if there are
questions one should write to Volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx is vital
information, IMO. <grrr> That was a good book, too. It was a star Trek
book, and I was interested in it. <sigh>
