Katie,
As far as the descriptions go, Bookshare does not have much control on the
amount of descriptions supplied for the book. I, and others, have noticed
the quality/quantity of descriptions decreasing for the last few months.
Volunteers have the option of changing and improving the quality of
descriptions when validating books. If descriptions do not exist,
validators can also add such information.
HTH.

Hello Cindy and all:)
I was browsing the new books last night before my downloadable total renewed
and I noticed a number of books that appear to be put up by bookshare that
didn't have any kind of descriptions. Any reason for this?
Also Scott, your suggestion was a good one and I was just commenting on it.
I do like the idea that we focus on getting the step 1 down to a reasonable
number. I think there are still a few there that I remember being there form
when I joined.
Again all and all bookshare is a totally great service and I am sure the
glory days of this site are still ahead thanks to everyone here!!!! Even
with my somewhat eclectic taste in books I do see others putting books up
that are on my future reading list. Thanks everyone! So many books so little
time....:) WE should be so inconvenienced.
Have a happy fourth everyone!

A lot of books were added to the collection today (and
as Jake said, Twelve Sharp is back). Many seem to be
in some alphabetical order, i.e., e's and f's--this
time I did not alphabetize them myself. And four

queue are among them.
