[bksvol-discuss] Re: Your book is about to expire.

Yesterday I renewed a book that was supposed to expire the previous day. Maybe bookshare is giving us some a day or so of leeway, or maybe I was just lucky. 

I don't know why the renew button can't be there all the time, either.

I agree with this, but I agree with Lori more. Why can't the renewal link be active all the time so someone can renew their book whenever?

    Alisa;

    I have to agree with Cindy; it is very frustrating to get the
    renewal notice 24 hours before we can renew it.  They should be
    simultaneous or send a second note, 24 hours later.

    Hope they can fix that to help ease our workflow.

        This is probably a minor thing in the list of things awaiting
your attention, and I'm not sure how many of us it affects (others beside me if I remember some posts correctly) but 
        would it be possible to send reminders that books we're
        working are about to expire on the day that they're due to
        expire instead of 2 days in advance? when I get the email I go
        to my list of books checked out and there's no way to renew
        them.  Or maybe you can activate the "renewal" word at the
        same time you send the reminder email I try to remember to
        check each day, but too often when I've gone and the renewal
        isn't possible I've forgotten to check againa and the book was
        released and I'v e had to redown it. This wouldn't b e so bad,
        because the book I'm working on now n  one else wants  but
        sometimes it's hard to find the right page; also at times I've
        seen that people do grab books others have had released and
        the ones who didn't renew on time have to ask whomever got it
        to release it so the person could finish
