Hi Kelly:

Regarding your first suggestion, the most recent compilation of books that
are in process can be found at:

> 1. Include Books in Process with Searches
>
> When a user searches for a book by title or author, there's no indication
> today that a book is in process i.e. waiting for volunteer or
> administrative validation.  To me it would be helpful to know that a book
> is in process for both volunteers and general readers without having to
> look through the download list or save copies of book lists mailed to this
> mailing list.  The books in some administrative state could be separated
> out into a section of the search results but would at least let folks know
> the book would be appearing at some point.
>
> 2. Remove the space characters at the beginning of the title/author drop
> down for searches.
>
> Is there a reason that the title and author words in the search selection
> drop down have spaces at the beginning.  I realize it is only one
character
> but if the space was eliminated a user could simply type "a" or "t" to
> select the appropriate item in the list once the drop down was activated.
>
> 3. Consider some sort of different layout for the book lists when browsing
> new books or by category.
>
> At least for me the table used for the books waiting for volunteer
> validation is much faster to go through with a screen reader than the any
> of the main book lists.  On the validation page I can quickly use the
> screen reader's table reading commands to hear title and author.  On the
> main list moving through the books is a lot more tedious.
