Hi Kim, 

At the moment, having a permanent link for proofreaders to renew their books is 
not an option.  Alisa currently has a request to the engineers to fix the 
system so that we can send out the reminder emails three days before a book 
will expire and make the renewal link available for those three days.  While I 
know this might not be ideal, at least you'll have a chance to renew books any 
time in those three days, which is better than the current option.

I agree that a permanent link is a great idea, but unfortunately, with the 
amount of work for the engineering department to do, we have to make some 
compromises.

Best, 

Madeleine

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Permanent link for renewing books

Hi, I like the idea of having a permanent link whereby a proofreader can renew 
a book being worked on. I just received an email notice telling me of my need 
to renew what I'm working on. As I have every intention of finishing what I 
start, I immediately went to the Volunteer Home on the Bookshare web site and 
attempted to renew my book. Unfortunately the link wasn't there. I expect I'll 
have to wait until midnight to do this.
I hope the engineering geniuses can somehow contrive that the renewal link can 
remain so a proofreader can renew a book without worry of missing out. Regards, 
Kim Friedman.
