As long as we are looking at it to determine whether or not to scan it ourselves I can't see that it makes a difference whether it is being scanned in house or by volunteers. What I am wondering is whether titles are being removed as they enter the collection. That would make searching the list a lot easier. That is, it would make it a lot easier if there are books in the collection that are not on that master list. If the master list contains all titles that we should not bother to scan it is a one stop list to check.

We have been adding books on the Being Scanned list to our Master List, so that volunteers don't have to look at both lists. They can just look at the Master List for ALL of the books being scanned by volunteers or in-house at Bookshare.
The confusion comes when volunteers see the books they are working on list in the new combined Master List and assume they are being scanned in-house. We will develop a way to indicate which books are being scanned by volunteers and which are scanned in-house at Bookshare. I will notify the list once this is implemented.
