Hi Kelly: Regarding your first suggestion, the most recent compilation of books that are in process can be found at: http://members.cox.net/booksharescans/Marissa.html -- Rui Bookshare.org Informal Volunteer Scanning Page http://members.cox.net/booksharescans ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kelly Ford" <Kelly@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 7:09 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Web Site Suggestions > Bookshare, > > Below are a couple of suggestions to consider for future enhancements to > the web site. > > 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. > > Thanks, > > Kelly > > >
