Hi Rui,
Someone will come up with a better idea no doubt, but how about "prep and
await list"? That is more or less what happens. <smile>

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Announcement regarding the BookshareScans Website
Good morning everyone:
I began the BookshareScans Website back in August of 2004.
At the time, I had stated it was a pilot project based on how much
participation I received from the bookshare community.
After 9 and a half months, I feel that the project has proven its value,
with 1 exception.
Therefore, in response to low utilization, I am discontinuing the upcoming
books page effective immediately.
On the other hand, The "no book left behind list," marissa's list, and the
rescan page have worked out fairly well.
(By the way, I need to come up with a jazzier name for Marissa's list)
Any ideas?
Have a good night everyone.
