Hi Mary -- when we get a bulk donation of files on disk, like this one, we
typically process them all the way through using in-house staff and volunteer
time. There's no guarantee some won't slip into the pool, of course, as we have
to upload, download, and upload just like everyone else. If another volunteer
grabs one, no big deal. But it shouldn't flood that list.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] big bunch of history books on the way
I just saw a post on the other list from a generous guy who is donating several
hundred scanned books to bookshare. Many are history, but also he's got
philosophy, sociology, travel and biography, I think he said. My
question for a staff person is, will this load of several hundred books be
dropped onto the step one upload page? Or are the in house volunteers
validating them? Or what? A huge donation like that is great. But if we're
worried about the backlog of things to validate now, what's going to happen
when this generous donation gets dumped into the queue?
Mary
