Hi everyone!
Yes, those lists are so much to keep track of just to find out where a book
is somewhere along the journey towards making it into the collection. I
don't always remember to check every list. So far, I have not been burned
by scanning only to find out later after starting that my efforts had been
duplicated, thankfully.

I couldn't agree with you more, Lori! They have made it virtually
impossible for scanners and buyers to know what is safe with the abundance
of lists we must check first. A single umbrella telling us if it is in
the collection or on a list would be incredibly useful!

all the books in bookshare--whether they are "planning to be scanned",
already in the collection, on the checkout list, in books in processing
or being processed by outsourcers. With one such database, volunteers
could find out much more easily when a book is being worked on. Right
now it is necessary to search too many databases. The difficulty of
finding out the status of a book is one reason I have virtually stopped
scanning. I have mentioned this before on this list and to staff--hope
it will happen someday!
