Mary, this may be the message you missed, in response to Tracy's concern about working on the older books.
Hi Tracy, Hmmm, let's see if I can extend your metaphor. We're not instituting a hunting ban - just declaring closed season on some titles that are no longer fair game. In a month we will systematically go through titles that have drawn no volunteer attention for a year. In many cases we expect to find that it is because the scan is so poor that nobody is willing to invest the time in cleaning it up. In that case it would be considered for re-scan. Part of the exercise is to get more insight into what kind of books volunteers like -- and don't like -- to do. Scott Melissa Smith On 12/28/2010 4:14 PM, Mayrie ReNae wrote:
Hi Melissa, Thanks tons! Your copy is perfectly readable. I thought I saw this message yesterday. Am I wrong? Did it come through again this morning? The blank message I got came to me earlier today. Am I caught up?

Hope this works. The Collection Development Department at Bookshare is implementing a new policy for managing the Checkout List. Books that have remained in the Checkout List for a year or more without being checked out for proofing will be reviewed for possible removal. This means that if there is an older book that you have been wanting to proofread - or would like to convince someone to proofread for you - now is the time to make your move. In a month all overlooked books that have been in the Checkout List for a year or more will be in danger of being removed.

But in your reply to Larry there was stuff (really weird stuff) that I could see below Larry's message. So, what were you trying to tell us in the first place? I'm pasting below what I saw in your message after Larry sent his. My first copy was blank. The> signs came from my e-mail program, or whoever's it is that gives those when a message thread lengthens. I'd really like to know what you said.
