HI Tracy,
Sometimes the hold for is for a specific person for a specific
reason. Perhaps the book needs someone with vision to deal with issues in
it, or perhaps the specified validator has knowledge of foreign languages in
the book, or expertise in an area covered in a book that uses a lot of
jargon.
If there is a specific book that you are interested in, you can
write to Pavi and ask her to contact the specified validator and ask if that
person is aware that the hold exists for them and has been waiting, or if
that specified validator would be willing to allow someone else to validate
the book.
Just some ideas.
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Hold for how long?
I see "hold for" books that have been sitting on Step1 for months. How
long is it reasonable to respect a "hold for"? Some of them interest me,
too. I'm willing to let the "hold for" person have them, but, on the
other hand, I know I will also do a good job, and the book will get off
Step1 and into the collection. That, after all, is the purpose of the
whole exercise.
So hold for how long?
Tracy
