I agree with Bonb. imo they *should* check my list before scanning (and not
just because it's my list)--even more so because they *are* getting paid, or
getting credit for books for their organiztion and if they do something that a
volunteer has started scanning then that volunteer doesn't get credit toward
membership. Why should the volunteeres be the only ones to check all the lists
before scanning?
