congratulations!! sUE s. Thank you, Allison. That is very interesting, and yes, you answered my questions. I am sure you are a real asset on the bookshare team!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allison Hilliker" <bookshare_girl@xxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 8:55 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] About Allison Hi all, Sue was asking about me and my work for Bookshare, so I thought I'd just write the list. <smile>. Sue, I'm glad you're interested in knowing more about me. That's always nice to hear! Currently, I am a full-time paid intern for Benetech, in other words, bookshare.org. I've been working for a little over two months now. I actually work from at home in Arizona, I don't live in Palo Alto where Benetech is located. I'm a little like Jake Brownell in that. He lives in Illinois, but works for Benetech and has for a while now. A lot of what I do for Bookshare deals with outreach to high school and college students. I talk to schools, teachers, students, parents, or anyone who is interested in the free student account options. Mostly I just answer questions and explain how they get started. I also represent Bookshare at student-related conferences as needed. When I'm not doing that, I do validating, daisy book testing, work on submitting the dozens of MSU donated textbooks that we're adding to the collection, and pretty much anything else that Lisa, Claire, or Susie tells me to do. <smile>. So far I really love working for Bookshare. And I promise I'm not just saying that because the staff reads this mailing list! I genuinely enjoy the job. It involves several of my favorite things - books, technology, and work in the blindness field. It is an ideal position and I consider myself very lucky to have it. And that's that. Sue, I hope I answered your questions. You guys are welcome to ask me anything about what I do whenever you like. I enjoy hearing from everyone. All the best, Allison Hilliker: Intern, Benetech (Bookshare.org).
