Hi Alisa,
   I just checked in a book and did notice that I whizzed right through, not 
only through the different pages I had to go through to get to check-in, but 
also the pages of the check-in process.  WOW!!!!  Please thank all those 
involved.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Improvements to website speed and book quality 
reporting procedures

Hi all,

 

Today we learned of several improvements to our website that will positively 
impact your work! 

 

Some important hardware improvements were made, resulting in shorter submission 
processing times.  While you’ll generally get better results submitting your 
scans and proofs during the day (when the system is running optimally for our 
200k+ members, and because system maintenance runs over night), you should see 
faster processing times both day and  night.  We anticipate even more 
improvements in the next iteration (in a couple of months).  Please let me know 
if you notice improvements and we can celebrate together!

 

Book quality reports:  Submitting a book quality report is now much easier.  
Simply sign into Bookshare, pull up the book, click on “report book quality 
issue” (in the upper right hand corner), fill out the form, and you’re done!  
Yay!

 

On another note, we have a new publisher partner, Cornell University Press.
