[bksvol-discuss] Re: Courtesy

Hi.  I     agree with Elizabeth's message.  (Sadly it's on my other computer so 
I can't quote it here.)
I would deeply appreciate it if the outsourcers and all volunteers would check 
the books-being-scanned list before processing a book.  I just had another 
book, which is being edited, put into the collection by another submitter and 
proofer team.
If someone wants to scan a book that the list says I'll be doing, I honestly 
don't mind.  It just means I'll go onto the next book.  What really frustrates 
me is when book after book that I've already scanned gets added to the 
collection by someone else.  I understand mistakes happen but when I spend 
hours of my time working on books, only to have someone else beat me to it...  
I get very annoyed and discouraged.

I'm still happy volunteering for Bookshare and I don't intend to quit; I just 
hate having my time and efforts completely wasted.
