Get+involved

What's involved in being a volunteer:

 * 1) Volunteers check the book list to make sure the book they are planning to convert has not already been converted.
 * 2) Volunteers "sign out" the book on the book list.
 * 3) Volunteers download books from [|accessiblebookcollection.org]
 * 4) Check if pictures that are 500 pixels high are available for the book you chose by looking at Optional Pictures
 * 5) Convert the book to a switch accessible format using [|IntelliTools Classroom Suite], [|Clicker 5] or [|Boardmaker Plus!]. In this way, you can create books much more quickly because you do not have to scan the pictures on your own.
 * 6) Templates and tips are provided for Clicker 5 and Intellitools Classroom Suite formats.
 * 7) Volunteers then send the books to Linda Wilson or Darlene Brodbeck by email for review.
 * 8) Linda or Darlene sends the completed book to Joe for posting to [|accessiblebookcollection.org].
