Hi Cindy,
Yes, lists of books added to the collection is generated electronically
by BookShare's software. I simply provide the link with all of the necessary
data filled in. It's part of the Advanced Search. This is why those pages
can take quite a bit of time to load, they're generated on demand. The new
books listing is updated once daily, and thus loads faster, but is out of
date. Gerald and I have already inquired about making the New Books area do
the same thing my site does.

Ah, I shall put back the ones I deleted, then.
I know the lists I revise after Marissa's List is published is not totall correct, because the information only comes from what people post on the list that they've uploaded or submitted, and of course there are a lot of volunteers not on the list who are doing the same thing. But if you can keep publishing Marissa's every two weeks, at least, I won't have to publish one. That helps avoid duplicate work.
Posting the books added to the collection, based on your list, gives those who live in earlier time zones, who don't take the trouble to go to your lists, and who are anxiousto get the information about new books sooner rather than later, information sooner than they'd get otherwise. For some reason I don't understand, you get the info before the New Books List does. Since I gather you get it electronically and automatically somehow, I don't see why it doesn't get to the New Books list the same way. When that finally occurs, I won't have to post any lists. smile.
Of course, you might say that such people shouldn't be pampered--they should learn to go to your lists or wait. I have no answer to that. smile
Cindy
