Shelley, I think you made a very good point, i.e., about how helpful it can be
to know who submitted
something. Since being part of this discussion group and seeing all the
questions that have come up
where people need information about books submitted, I've come to realize how
helpful knowing who
submitted a book can be. The identity question is answered not when one submits
a book, as I recall,
but when one signs up to be a volunteer on bookshare. I seem to remember that
there was a place to
check if you wanted your name listed or not. When I first signed up, I checked
not, not because of
privacy reasons but because I didn't need or want any kind of credit. It didn't
occur to me that the
identification would serve other useful purposes. When I began to see the
latter, I asked Jesse to
change my anonymous status, and he did. I mention this only to explain why I
think the identity as A
Bookshare Volunteer is there. It may be a wish for privacy, or not wanting any
kind of credit, or simply
that someone didn't see or didn't check the line that says his/hername can be
listed. Maybe the
purpose or usefulness of identification can be conveyed to volunteers when they
sign up.
