Do books that the BookShare staff scan need to be validated, or are they
placed directly onto the site? Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that the bug that prevented staff approving
books from viewing the list in chronological order was fixed about a month
ago. Since then, myself or whoever else is responsible for approving books
make a real effort to approve books in a "First In, First Out" manner,
unless there are some special circumstances. We appreciate your patience, as
understandably it is frustrating when your book is waiting in the admin
queue for several weeks. 
Thanks again for all your continued support to expanding the Bookshare.org
collection.

That has been a problem forever. I don't know why they can't go from the end
of the list and take the books that have been on there longest. We've
mentioned this before; it seems unfair, especially, to people who need ths
credits for membership renewal.
