For Taylor, spearheading the library\’s online fund-raising efforts is a natural extension of her expertise in computer-assisted language learning.
As online sales manager, Taylor selects books brought to her by Friends volunteers. She researches the books to determine prices and takes a picture of each with a digital camera. She then posts the photographs and a short blurb on each book — including any defects she discovers — onto the auction sites.
