Hi Ilene,
I think that bookshare's engineers are mulling over ideas like
yours. They certainly do know that we want a way to search books in
progress, and I assume, because I'm hopeful, are working on finding some way
for us to do that. You can rest assured that if such a thing happens,
someone will let the list know.
You are not alone in wanting this kind of thing. And our frantic wishes
have been heard.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Filter for Duplicates?
Hi,
Since I don't read every post, I may have missed this if someone else
mentioned it, but here goes.
Have the Bookshare engineers considered having a filter built into the site
so that if we submit our books and they have elements in common with books
already in the collection (or even in process, if that's possible) an
information box could come up informing us of this? Whether we'd want it to
appear only if two or more elements were the same, such as title and author
or title and ISBN, or whether we'd like the info to come up even if just the
author were the same, i don't know. We could look at the list of similar
titles and if we realized we were duplicating we could stop the process.
Obviously we would all prefer to catch the fact that we had a duplicate book
before we even started scanning, but if we missed that fact somehow this
would be a checkpoint. If we wished to continue for any reason we could do
so and if necessary explain why in our comments.
If this has all been mulled over already, I really do apologize.
Ilene
