I thought that the books that are scanned in house bypassed the download
list.

Basically, I'm with Monica. Most of the time I haven't commented on
this topic (which comes up every so often) because I could see good
arguments on both sides. But, currently, I do think there are an
unusually large number of hold fors and not as much variety as usual in
what is available.
Maybe it is just one of those random things that occurs, and maybe
Carrie is too busy with all the other bookshare tasks she does to go out
browsing local used book stores for the large volume and variety she
generally feeds to the chopper and high speed scanner.
But, I do have one suggestion (which was partly inspired by one of the
emails in this thread, so I'm not claiming I thought it up completely on
my own). Perhaps people that send out books to be scanned by others
could ask the scanner to send them an email when the book has been
scanned. Then the sender/proofreader can send an email saying yes,
upload it now, or no wait a while so I can clear out some other tasks
first. Then when ready the proofreader can email, ok send it now. In
other words, the books could be held for on the computer of the sender
instead of on the bookshare queue. We who don't want to see them
because they are held for someone else, won't see them. And the
overworked bookshare engineering staff won't have still yet more
requests for changes to the site.
And maybe Carrie will tumble another forty mysteries, romances,
fantasies, suspenses, and who knows what else into the queue and this
book drought will all be a passing memory.
