I must be missing something here. How does this list help with issues like Lissi's. As I understand her email comments, the books she mentioned were already in the collection and WERE REPLACED by the outsourcers. If I am correct, why would they replace books already in the collection and how does this list prevent that from happening.
And apparently I am the only one who is perplexed by having to check at least four lists to determine if I should scan a book or not: Cindy's list, the outsourcer list, Books in Processing list and the collection itself? That is partially why I would now rather proofread than scan.

That's very helpful. I'll convert it to rtf and put it in a section to the being-scanned listCindyWish List (i.e., books wanted added to the collection) and books-being-scanned list available at sites belowWish List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Bookshare+Wish+ListBooks Being Scanned List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Books+Being+Scanned+List--- On Wed, 9/30/09, Pavi Mehta <pavim@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:From: Pavi Mehta <pavim@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] List of Outsourcers & Publisher Titles Update To: "bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wednesday, September 30, 2009, 4:34 PM Hi All, In a conversation with VAT (Volunteer Advisory Team) Chairman, Bob Wiley yesterday the suggestion came up of sending out an update to the volunteer list every time the Books In Collection or In Process by Outsourcers/Publishing Partners. We’ve decided to implement that – in order to let volunteers know when that list is modified and also to give more recent volunteers a heads up on the fact that such a list exists! In general the list is updated twice a week. A new set of updates was just made and the updated list can be viewed by clicking the link below: https://wiki.benetech.org/download/attachments/17268805/929Booklist.txt All good things, Pavi Pavi Mehta Volunteer Coordinator, Bookshare Benetech 480 S.
