Hi Jamie,
The list is still there but you have to be logged in to find the
list of books being done by outsourcers. As an aside, I don't
think that regular Bookshare members can get to this list, even
when they're logged on. I think the link only works if a person
is logged onto their Bookshare account and is a volunteer.
Here's the url:

Books on this list might already have moved into the collection
because the list overlaps books that outsourcers have finished as
well as ones that are being done.
The VAT members have kept asking Bookshare for a way for
volunteers to find out the status of any title from step 1
(someone is doing it) to it being in the collection. We've been
assured that a way is being worked on, but told that it's a huge
undertaking to combine all of this into one system that everyone
can use. I haven't heard any time line as to when it will happen,
just that eventually it will.

I know that Bookshare must keep a list of those books they buy for
outsourcing or else how do they know what they've already bought? How do
they know what they're supposed to pay the outsourcers for or not pay
them for?
The only reason I try to check the outsourcers list is that I got a
library book to scan and by the time I got around to scanning it, an
outsourcer had already scanned it. Which was fine with me as long as it
was as good as what I would have done with the weird font chapter headings.
