Why don't you just have engineering put a piece of code in that checks and ensures that everyone gets three books and no more. That would save you guys from having to check the queue as often plus since you guys tell us man power is short this would be a better alternative.

Hi Volunteers, We are really excited because we have seen an increase in new volunteers! Due to feedback from them, we are reducing the number of holds a volunteer can have in the checkout queue at one time. Each volunteer may now have a maximum of three holds at a time. We are reducing the number of allowable holds for two reasons: First and foremost is to share the wealth! We want new volunteers to be able to choose from a number of books that might interest them to keep them engaged while they're still learning the ropes. Secondly, we hope that reducing the number of holds and freeing up books in the checkout queue will reduce "poaching." Volunteers will have until Aug. 15 to finish up the holds already existing for them, and after Aug. 15 I will be checking the Check Out Queue daily and removing extra holds at random. Thank you all for understanding and, as always, for your hard work! Best, The Bookshare Volunteer Dept.
