Hi Judy!
I agree! I just renewed two books in less than three minutes!And it's 4:00
a.m. here.
The renew links still took around 24 hours after I got the notice that my
books needed renewing to show up, but this is definitely progress! And I
appreciate it!

reporting procedures
WOW! I just renewed a book, at 2 a.m, that before the improvements would
have taken about 5 minutes at best at this time of night to renew (usually
more like ten minutes). It took less than a minute total. Then I uploaded
a book that had been proofread. That took less than two minutes, including
the time to upload the book using dial-up! Before the improvements it was
taking at least 15 minutes to half an hour, at this time of night, if it
worked at all.
Break out the party hats! And please let engineering know because this is a
stupendous improvement!

Hi all,
Today we learned of several improvements to our website that will positively
impact your work!
Some important hardware improvements were made, resulting in shorter
submission processing times. While you'll generally get better results
submitting your scans and proofs during the day (when the system is running
optimally for our 200k+ members, and because system maintenance runs over
night), you should see faster processing times both day and night. We
anticipate even more improvements in the next iteration (in a couple of
months). Please let me know if you notice improvements and we can celebrate
together!
Book quality reports: Submitting a book quality report is now much easier.
Simply sign into Bookshare, pull up the book, click on "report book quality
issue" (in the upper right hand corner), fill out the form, and you're done!
Yay!
On another note, we have a new publisher partner, Cornell University Press.
