Hi Sandy,
   Oh, horray!  Unfortunately I’m going into the hospital on Wednesday.  
Hopefully I should only be in there for 3 or 4 days; I’ll be even slower than 
my normal pokey!  .  So anytime that it’s convenient for you is fine.  Do you 
know how to put a hold on a book title?  If not, could you please wait until 
this afternoon?  Thanks; if you let me know when it’s on the bookshare list, 
I’ll go and get it.  Thanks again!
Marty

Hi Marty,

The book is here!  I have picked it up from the library and scanned it.  Now 
I'll make corrections as necessary.

When will you want me to submit it?

Sandi

    Hi Marty,

    I checked through all the lists to be sure you hadn't missed something, 
because the actual name of the book is "Still Here:  Embracing Aging, Changing 
and Dying."  And a couple of editors are listed as well.

    I have found the book and can get it through interlibrary loan.  I think 
I'll do that, since I didn't find it in any of the volunteer lists or the 
collection.

    This may take a few weeks.

    Sandi

      Hi Sandy,
         Thank you for your very kind offer, but I am on a very limited income 
and can’t buy anything at this point.  Thanks so much!

      Hi Marty,

      If you want to get a copy and send it to me, I'd be glad to scan it for 
you.

        Hi Valerie,
           The name of the book is “Still Here: Embracing changing, aging and 
dieing” by Ram Dass.  I can’t seem to find it anywhere, but I couldn’t get into 
“books recently rejected” or something like that.  Perhaps I should put it on 
the wish list again anyway?  Thanks!

          Thank you!  Why on earth didn’t I think of the “being scanned” list?  
I did check the bookshare collection, but my book was not there.  I’ll go check 
some more.  Thanks again!

          That could mean that someone has picked up your request and is 
scanning it. The one time I requested a book, it disappeared from the wishlist 
after a few weeks, seemingly for no reason, and I was disappointed, thinking no 
one could find it and it would never make it into the collection. I later found 
out it got removed because the Collection Development specialist had scanned 
it, and it got added to the collection a week or two later.

            Hi Folks,
               I had put a book title and author on the wish list several 
months ago and now it’s not there.  How come?  Do I need to put it on again?  
Thanks!
