Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Another Newby
Happy Holiday everyone, and I am another newby to the volunteer list of
validators. I just joined, so haven't had a chance to get a book yet, so am
absorbing all of the tips and tricks before even starting.
As a Bookshare user since October, I want to give back some. Also, I am a
published author--my book is available on Bookshare, as I scanned a copy
and donated it--and am more than a little frustrated with the publishing
industry for not making books available to persons who cannot read by
traditional means for whatever reason--and they are more than what people
think.
I also have several books that I have scanned for myself and, after I learn
how the validation process goes, would like to get them read for submission
in such good shape taht validators don't have to do much work.
Finally, I want to thank all of you for your hard work on behalf of all of
us who use Bookshare. I have found some incredible treasures there already
and know I will find more. I pop them into my Pac Mate with a Braille
display and--voila!
