Sorry, there are only 117 books in the approval queue now, so we won't make it
up to 167 on Monday.
The reason that admins were told not to approve over 100 books in a day, was
because way back when, you could only see the last 100 books approved in a day.
If 167 were approved, then no one could see the first 67 approved that day,
only the last 100. Now of course it's different. You can specify how far back
to show books, even up to a month, so it's okay if there are over 100 books
approved in a day. Hats off to Engineering for that fix!

Oh, wow! Will it be another 167 book day? I think I recall hearing that some
people had trouble with getting the list, but I still remember that day -
although I don't remember the exact date. But I do recall that it felt a little
like Christmas.
I think she said something about not doing any more of those 100-plus book
days, though, so maybe it will be a couple of 99 book days. <grin>

Yes, we're trying to hire another Claire-type person (and another Carrie-type
person), so the approval queue won't get so big. Claire and I moved our office
to the downstairs Benetech office (just rented) last Thursday and Friday, and
Claire got behind in her approval queue handling. I'm sure she'll deal with it
Monday.

On another topic, I do notice the admin queue has been a bit large of
late. I do hope that the new funding includes some provision for more
than one person to be in charge of moving books from admin to the
general collection.
