Hi Cindy,I believe all these different "lists" need to be consolidated. Right now,this important information is scattered all over the place. Thedifficulties you and others who scan books encounter points this problem outquite clearly. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Grandma Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 02, 2008 1:01 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Small FavorI checked the collection to see if it was a HarperCollins donation but see instead that it was a NY Times addition to the collection. Which means, Isuppose that in addition to checking the being-scanned list, and thecollection, and the books-in-process list, one should check the monthly NY Times list that Carrie posts before scanning. I've downloaded a copy of May's if anybody needs that info and didn't save it when she posted. I don't think she remembered to post the April list, though--probably too excitedabout the impending birth. smileI guess it's impossible to avoid duplicated work entirely, but we can try. I'll add the NY Times books to the being-scanned list. That will make oneless list for you to have to look at. As soon as I get it done thisafternoon, I'll post it, and then if there are more changes I'll post a newlist int he wee hours of the morning, as usual. smile G.Cindy***WISH LIST (CALLED REQUESTED ADDITIONS TO THE BOOKSHARE COLLECTION)ISAVAILABLE AT http://people.delphiforums.com/jamiecalton/Book_Requests.htm http://www.friendsofbookshare.org/ http://studentpages.alma.edu/~07jmyate/book_requests.htm A LIST OF BOOKS CURRENTLY BEING SCANNED IS AVAILABLE AT http://people.delphiforums.com/jamiecalton/scanning.html Jake's site for useful links: http://www.jbrownell.com/bkslinks.html --- On Fri, 5/2/08, Tracy Carcione <carcione@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:From: Tracy Carcione <carcione@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Duplicate submissions bring me down To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Friday, May 2, 2008, 8:36 AM Duplicate submissions bring me down, way way down. I just spent several hours working on "Small Favor: A Harry Dresden Novel". I finally finished it and uploaded it, only to see that it had been added to the new releases sometime in the last day or two. I didn't see a dup when I got it, and it wasn't in the collection, so I went ahead and validated it. Now I feel like I totally wasted my time. I hope whoever validated the other copy did a good job and didn't just bang it out in 10 minutes. That would be adding insult to injury. I wish there was a foolproof way of preventing duplicate submissions, and that submitters would be more careful. Makes me wonder why I bother at all.
