Is there anyone in charge of cataloging who can check quality and take out the
extras? That could be a fun job.

I don't know why there are duplicates. Sometimes, I think someone scans a
book without checking to see whether it is already in the collection, and it
gets by the proofreader, who may not check either. I don't know that that's
the only reason, but it's one. Another possibility is that somebody does
another scan to improve the copy and forgets to put BSO at the beginning of
the title. That's supposed to stand for an improved copy, as in "better
scan of" or something like that.

Hi Bookshare fans,
I know many of you are volunteers for Bookshare and I have only been using
the service for about six months so I thought you might have some details.
I often notice duplications in books with no explanations. The first time I
saw this I thought it was a volume one and volume two thing that wasn't
marked properly so downloaded both copies. I realized they were the same
thing in the same medium and didn't understand why it appeared twice on the
list. Since then I have noticed more duplications with no volume or sequel
numbers and presume they are duplicates as well. Anyone know why there are
duplicates? It seems unnecessary to me and was a little confusing at first.
Now I just ignore when I see the same title twice in a list.
Thanks,
Jane Lansaw
