Good news then.

You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti

Hi Jamie,

The list is still there but you have to be logged in to find the list of books being done by outsourcers. As an aside, I don't think that regular Bookshare members can get to this list, even when they're logged on. I think the link only works if a person is logged onto their Bookshare account and is a volunteer.

Here's the url:

https://wiki.benetech.org/download/attachments/17268805/Outsourcer+%26+Publisher+Titles+Master+List.txt

Books on this list might already have moved into the collection because the list overlaps books that outsourcers have finished as well as ones that are being done.

The VAT members have kept asking Bookshare for a way for volunteers to find out the status of any title from step 1 (someone is doing it) to it being in the collection. We've been assured that a way is being worked on, but told that it's a huge undertaking to combine all of this into one system that everyone can use. I haven't heard any time line as to when it will happen, just that eventually it will.

I searched the net and the only link for the oursourcers list I could find came up with page not found. I know that Bookshare must keep a list of those books they buy for outsourcing or else how do they know what they've already bought? How do they know what they're supposed to pay the outsourcers for or not pay them for? The only reason I try to check the outsourcers list is that I got a library book to scan and by the time I got around to scanning it, an outsourcer had already scanned it. Which was fine with me as long as it was as good as what I would have done with the weird font chapter headings.
