Here I go, probably getting into hot water. I, for one, will take a book. Exciting things come along, like work. I then will hold onto the book, feeling that I'll get to it. Then, to my disappointment, I'll find things that I'm not competent to correct without the print, but I know others would do them.
What do I do in this case? Just stop trying to volunteer in case life gets ridiculous, which it often does?
Your input is valued. I usually validate close to 100 books a year, but if holding onto books is a problem, I have other volunteer jobs, too.

The situation which concerns me is the one where the same person takes a book over and over again and finally releases it back to step 1. You make a good point about a volunteer being unwilling to reject. If we only had feedback on a book's situation (say on this list) we might work together on a specific book to decide its fate. I know people sometimes scan bits of a book so it can be accepted. I also know we sometimes encourage one another when we are not sure whether to reject or not.E.

I think a lot of this problem may be due to the fact that validators are reluctant to reject.----- Original Message ----- From: "E." <thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, July 20, 2007 9:28 AMSubject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: question about membership rules and volunteer creditsPlease understand my appreciating volunteering. I too do not particularly think a person needs to become a member to be able to volunteer as long as he or she actually does submit or validate rather than using the step 1 list in the way I previously described. It is the possible miss-use of step 1 I want to track. I want some way to make volunteers who are new feel welcome and trusted and want some way to slow down the thing where a book gets taken over and over but never validated. If I have hurt or upset anyone I truly apologize.To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
