I am not going to take a position one way or another on whether you should do
this. I will just say that I don't see the point. If these new books added
lists are so old then they are not new books added anymore and can just be
found
by browsing the main collection or searching it or by any other means that
you might look for books in the collection.

Hi again,
I can now say that I have a bunch from Brenda from what appears to be
August to October, but I haven't gotten them all in chronological order
yet. I also saw a couple from the end of July. Now I'm thinking that
maybe I should put them up on a special web site for others in my
position, specifically that they don't want to go to the Bookshare site
but don't want to miss anything either. Now since the Bookshare site is
acting weird and won't offer new books going back indefinitely, it might
help to provide a reference for as far back as possible. I of course
don't want to cause problems with the Bookshare staff and there isn't
much point if such a site wouldn't be used. I've found a way to get
Cindy's lists that she emails automatically posted with no work on her
part so they would show up on the web site as soon as the email is
received. Any thoughts? It would be a private site using Wordpress, a
popular blogging package. It would also offer rss feeds and a search
for people wanting to keep up that way, but no comments. It wouldn't be
listed in general search engines, it would be intended for Bookshare
users and volunteers. Obviously I don't want to upset Cindy or the
staff. I understand there might be rights issues with posting such
lists on other sites.
Again, Brenda gets a big thanks for sending me several lists that I was
missing. Thank you Brenda!
