Looking over the new titles reminded me where there is a weakness in the
library, that we as volunteers can't point at the software. While I
realize that I am probably preaching to the choir, I think we need to make
an effort to provide at least short synopsis that provide readers with an
idea of what the book is about. I've used the following book as an
example, not to single out any submitter, as it is the famous "A Bookshare
Volunteer," or validater, but because the long synopsis, which is better,
should have fit comfortably in the short synopsis field.
It also caught my attention as I found the subject of the book a bit
humorous as I don't really understand why anyone would find it necessary to
debunk a novel. Then again, I never understood why religious leaders would
come up with allegations that "Barny," "Telly Tubbies," and "Sponge Bob,"
promote gay life styles.
I think next week I'm going to start on my book proving "the Clone Wars"
were all a fake.
