Oh yes do I remember, kept my promise but boy was I sick because booksfree was sending me all of those books at once instead of mixing them up.

Thanks Robert! I remember those days and those books. We were working hardand fast getting those books in there! At the time Jesse was the collectionadministrator and put them all into Adult Content. Remember? Then Gustavo came on board and changed that.

While itis good we are getting the text books and the big grant, what do memberslike to read? I did a lot of gay and lesbian books in the beginning because some people wanted a place to go to and we prided ourselves on having booksthat orther media types didn't want to do.

It will be our first update since Jim Fruchterman put us in the loop last November. That was a memorable evening thanks to Jim's interest in keeping Booksharians appraised of Bookshare's goals and activities and Friends of Bookshare's initiative in providing responsibly monitored chat rooms with top level guests and engaging programs and activities. The staff already knows I'm curious about how many books were in the collection at the end of December 31, 2007. In some contexts I really enjoy knowing how many there were or are of this and that. Here are some other number questions I'd like to see answered in a newsletter or in a post to these lists. 1. How many new books were added in 2007? 2. How many BSOs were approved in 2007? 3. May we have an update on the fascinating breakdown of how many books are in each category displayed on the home page of The Friends of Bookshare site? 4. How many people currently subscribe to the volunteer list? the Discuss list? 5. How many volunteers are currently registered with Bookshare? 6. How many volunteers were active in 2007, submitting or validating at least 1 book which was approved? 7.What was the total membership at Bookshare at the end of 2007? 8. How many new members signed up in 2007? 9. How many people had earned their full membership when they joined or renewed their membership in Bookshare through volunteering? 10. How many books in the collection were downloaded by members in 2007? 11. What percentage of the total collection is rated excellent, good and fair? I don't need to know the answers to any of the above questions. I'm not investigating or trying to make any point. I just enjoy those kinds of statistics. If I never learn the answers to any of my numbers questions, I'll happily continue volunteering as I'm doing, but I'd keep wondering. Does anyone else like knowing this kind of information?

Maybe Claire will tell you who the validator was. G.Cindy --- solsticesinger <solsticesinger25@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi, all. I feel like a broken record, because I'm about to revisit a topic we've talked into the ground, and then some. There were four books with "hold for Shannon Dyer" on step one. Suddenly, there was only one. So, I went searching for the missing three, and where did I find them? In the admin queue, one of them with the "hold for" still in the title. Before checking the books in processing page, I contacted Nat Barrett, the submitter, to see if, for some reason, she might have taken them back. She said that she hadn't, and expressed displeasure that someone would blatantly ignore a hold for. I really do not understand the need certain validators have to take books that are specifically held for another person. I don't take books with other people's names on them, so, why do people take books that are being held for me? There are plenty of validation choices out there, without taking what is being held for someone else. Does anyone hear me, or, am I preaching to the choir? Lol.
