[bksvol-discuss] Re: book statistics

I don't know about books that might not be read right now not being scanned 
in the future. This is all about volunteers scanning what they might be 
interested in, too, besides just scanning to increase the Bookshare 
collection, so if someone is interested in a particular book but statistics 
show that type of book might not be downloaded very often, they should still 
be able to submit it. Of course, that may not even be what you meant at all, 
but those are just my thoughts. Take care.

I should think such a list would be of value to both scanners and Bookshare
staff so that books in genres that aren't being read will not continue to be
scanned.
