We don't know, not seeing the original PQ submissions, whether the quality decreases while in-house operations take place or whether they came that way from the publisher. We're going to have to tell the staff when we see problems so they can make such determinations.

No, No. I agree with what you say. I have only asked that books that are indeed excellent not be replaced. As someone suggested recently, it would be very nice if we could know when books were added to the collection so that we could know if a title is a BSO that has replaced a Fair or Good book and is now excellent or if it is not so readable. If there were two copies of a book in the collection, a PQ and a volunteer-processed one, if a reader downloaded the latter and it was not as good as the PQ one he/she could tell Carrie or someone and that book could be removed from the collection and the PQ one remain. On the other hand, there have been comments here that the PQ books are not perfect and have problems. If a reader downloaded a PQ book and wasn't happy with it he/she could try the volunteer one and if it was easier to read could read that one. He'd have a choice.It's pie-in-the sky,though--whatever that means--since at the moment it isn't going to happen--but I wish it would, just so people could have a choice and read whatever copy is best and easiest to read.Cindy To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
