Volunteer data can certainly be a sticky-wicket.
I recommend to most of the groups I work with that they create an excel
spreadsheet with column headings that volunteers do the data entry in.
Then, a staff member can review for problems, and have the volunteer fix
anything *before* all those street addresses wioth no capital letters make it
into your database. Once the data looks good, staff can import the data
from the excel spreadsheet. You can also save all the excel worksheets in
a centralplace on your network and use a naming protocol that indicates which
volunteer did the data entry.

At Evergreen, staff are responsible for managing records that have been added by them including updating contact information. Volunteer data input poises a bit of a problem under these circumstances. Assigning a workstation to volunteers exclusively is not an option. Any ideas re: procedures for indicating which records have been added by a volunteer.
