Hi Cindy,
I'm heading out the door to go to a family get together (yeah, I was
thrilled to hear about that happening right when I got home from school)--so
I'll be responding to private emails within the next day or two.
But in the meantime, Yes I can generate a list of fair books. The useful
links page will filter by fair books, however for browsing this is
impractical. I can put up a page with all of the titles on a single page.
This is something I hope to get to later this week. I'll plan on updating
the list every week or two.
Jake

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Fair Books in the collection
Donna,
Back in October of 2004, Marissa posted a list of Fair Books that would be good to have re-scanned or re-validated. She posted it in two forms--one for sighted people and one for non-sighted people. Unfortunately, I only have the former list. Also, sadly, I only fixed one. Then I went to the list of books that had been sitting on the download list. When I finish what I've got, I should go back to that list.
I had crossed some off the list that people said they were doing. One of them was The Vagina Monolgues, but I see it is still in the collection as Fair. I know there has been recent discussion here about problems with a new scan of it.
In October 2004 there were 1171 books on the list. I haven't checked lately, so I don't know how many have been done. Maybe Gustavo or John or Marissa when she comes back can generate a more current list. If you want a copy of my list, I can send it to you as an rtf document. I think Marissa had it in chart form and I put it into a Word document, to make it easier for myself to read and keep track.
Cindy
P.S. Jake--do you have a way of selecting out Fair books?
Cindy

After reading Elizabeth's message, I went to check the list on BookShare and have revised the books I have on hold from the library by Robin Hobb as follows:
Golden Fool (The Tawny Man, Book 2) Fool's Errand (The Tawny Man, Book 1) Farseer: Assassin's Quest
In the future, it would be more helpful if those requesting that we rescan books already in the collection to improve the quality, would be specific about which books need rescanning.
Thanks Elizabeth for bringing this to my attention.

Fool's Errand by Hobb has a lot of garble and probably needs either to be re-scanned or to have the copy now on bookshare worked on with a print copy at hand. I will report on other books by her later.
