[bksvol-discuss] Re: Step 1 Languishers

MessageHi Rose,
    Gustavo put it back on the download list a few months ago, probably for 
someone to fix up. Apparently that person didn't follow through. I know because 
I grabbed a copy about a week before it appeared on the download list. So yes, 
it *was* on BookShare.

  Hi all,
      Firstly, I'd like to applaud the work the BookShare Team and Volunteers 
have done in the first quarter of 2006! This year is definitely shaping up to 
be a good one from all the signs we've seen so far, ie. increased funding that 
will allow BookShare to begin work on meeting some long term goals.

      That said, I'm happy to report that the Step 1 page has been less than 
400 books for a few days now. I'm hoping this is because books aren't sitting 
around on it forever, and not that people are working on 15 books at a time.

      And, that said, I know some of you have been wanting to root out the 
titles that have been on the page for a long time. I've compiled a list of the 
tob 27 books that have been there since before February 2005. And actually a 
couple of the books were submitted as early as January 2004!

  title author
  The Mystery of Capital Hernando de Soto
  Early Greek Thinking. Martin Heidegger
  Digital Fortress Dan Brown
  Essentials of Corporate Finance Ross Westerfield and Jordan
  "Hands Heal: Communication, Documentation, and Insurance Billing for Manual 
Therapists, Second Edition." "Thompson, Diana L. LMP (Licensed Massage 
Therapist, Seattle, WA"
  Range Management; Principles & Practices "Holechek, Pieper, and Herbel"
  Changing Japanese Attitudes Toward Modernization Marius B. Jansen (editor)
  Speed Tribes: Days and Nights with Japan's Next Generation Karl Taro Greenfeld
  Reflexive Methodology: New Vistas for Qualitative Research Mats Alvesson and 
Kaj Skoldberg
  Our Arcadia Robin Lippincott
  Physical Education & Sport in a Changing World William Freeman
  Business Hits on the Web 2003-2004 with Excercises Jerry Furniss
  The Triumph of Elohim (Diana Vikander Edelmaeditor)n
  All That is Solid Melts into Air: the Experience of Modernity Marshall Berman
  Forms of Talk Erving Goffman
  Applescript in a Nutshell Bruce W. Perry
  Cafe Nostalgia Valdés Zoé
  Gabriel's Discovery Felicia Mason
  Language of the Heart Bill W
  Rome's Revenge Sara Craven
  Brilliance of the Moon Lian Hearn
  Flower Girls "Janet Dailet, Et Al."
  Speaking Culturally: Explorations in Social Comm. Gerry Philipsen
  Utilization-Focused Evaluation: The New Century Text (third edition) Michael 
Quinn Patton
  Untilization Focused Evaluation Micheal Quinn Patton
  "Critical Issues in Special Education: Access, Diversity, and Accountability" 
"AUDREY McCRAY SORRELLS, HERBERT J. RIETH, PAUL T. SINDELAR"
  Remember Names Dale Carnegie

  Yeah, I know a lot of these titles look boring and generally unappealing. The 
only one I have personal experience with is the Mystery of Capital. The book 
has lots of split words and little things that need correcting. If someone were 
interested in cleaning up the book it would be doable, and that's the only 
reason I didn't reject it.

  BTW this list was ordered with the oldest books at the top.

  Happy Volunteering!
  Jake
