Hi, Geneva. I'm not sure if you have time to read the volunteer email list so,
I'm sending this sample of recent posts.

Years ago there was one list, on the volunteer home page, titled Books in
Process. It was divided into sections: (1. books waiting to be proofed; (20
Books out being proofed; (3) books awaiting approval; and (4) rejected books.
I have been thinking of creating such a list for the benefit of the volunteers
(any myself, because when someone has submits a scanned book I check to see if
it is available for proofing, and there are sometimes as many as 4 page to
check; also, I try to remember to check the collection and the lists when
someone requests a book so that no scanner's time is wasted scanning something
that has already been done.
However, compiling such a will take some time, and maintaining the lists I am
already maintaining takes time, and I would like to get back to proofing. I
wondered if someone at bookshare--perhaps one of your volunteers or an intern
could compile such a list rather than, at the moment, checking the duplicate
being-scanned list I send you ; speaking of which, since you said your
volunteer was going to check the collection to be sure books on the
being-scanned list are not already in the collection I've only been putting
added books on the list I send you, and not deleting ones that people have told
me are in the collection or that I have seen myself on the New books list).
Please let me know if what I suggest. If not, after proofing a book or two,
I'll create such a list, but of course I wouldn't be able to post it on the
volunteer home page. (Maybe Rick Costa would be willing to do it?
