I'll send you a note whenever I put books on the checkout page.
Since you like mysteries, I might even put some of the books I've already
scanned with a hold for you on them. Let me know if you'd be interested in
doing that.
Like I said before, let me kno about the western novel and the other five
books you said you would send me. I love westerns!
I'm doing okay, but am a little tired. I think the winter is getting to me.
Not enough sunlight. I wouldn't be surprised if I had SAD. I remember I
felt this way last winter too and went to the doctor for it and she gave me
some medication to take until spring came. I think it was Zoloft. When the
daylight hours got longer, I felt better.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
I hope you're feeling better now. I remember you weren't feeling well a
week or two ago.

It is on its way in Excel in a separate email! I will have you working on
the same category as Chela but further down the list.

Volunteers,
Since the start of 2011 you have seen a number of short projects
involving lists in Excel, Google docs, or tab-delimited files. These
resulted in strategic additions to the collection. Like earlier projects
where gaps in series were targeted these projects target gaps in themes
and often start the formation of Special Collections.
I wanted to tell you some of what you have accomplished since these
projects involve many people working simultaneously on isolated pieces of
the process and the end result is slower to appear than when doing
scanning and proofing. I also want to announce new projects to those who
are interested.
You have created your own unique list of Bookshare Volunteer "Best
Reads."
You have prepared the list of BBC and Norwegian Book Club's list of most
important books
You prepared a list of 200 books that have been recommended to graduating
seniors to read the summer before college. (Right, I thought it was only
my university that wanted us to read 200 books in one summer.)
You prepared a list of nearly 300 books that have been recognized as
classical literature of the world.
You have begun the list of every book written by a Nobel Literary Prize
author.
In each case we now have the foundations for listing a Special Collection
using the URLs of the books in the Bookshare collection. Dozens of books
are now on order to fill in what we were lacking. What you have done also
provides new arguments for the value of Bookshare when staff approaches
publishers, parents, universities, elementary schools, and funders. Thank
you!
In this next set of projects you are directly helping Carrie Karnos
fulfill a long-delayed desire to measure our collection against various
book awards. Once again the process involves recording what we already
have in Excellent or PQ quality and researching who publishes what we are
missing.
We need volunteers to research 2,000 books. These are the top books in
four categories as determined by AwardAnnals.com. The Categories are
Young Adult, Nonfiction, History, and Biography.
We learned last time that there is no single format that works for all
volunteers so we will be flexible in a way that allows the largest number
possible to contribute. Using the Google doc format is preferable for all
those it is accessible to because it gives realtime feedback on just what
remains to be done.
Write to me if you want to tackle part of this project. Be sure to let me
know which format you need and specify a number of books you want to take
on if you are not using the Google doc format.
