When I submitted DOLLY: THE BIOGRAPHY early yesterday morning (and it's already in the collection, by the way; great work!), I got a thank-you as well for the submission. This was my first submission since the new site, so I was glad to see that by the time I submitted it.

Well, I have just succeeded in submitting a book.

I just made my first try to submit a book and have no idea whether it went through or not. Just to make sure, how and/or where can I find out the current procedures foruploading and how do I know whether the upload was successful. The book in question was Coulter's Guilty.Thanks.----- Original Message ----- *From:* Mike <mailto:mlsestak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *To:* bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Wednesday, January 21, 2009 9:23 AM *Subject:* [bksvol-discuss] New Bookshare site grumblings I like the new site for many of its features and smoother operation. However, like others, I have a few grumbles. Like just being dumped back on the check in page after uploading a validated (proofread) book. I agree with Evan, it is not the thank you that I miss, it is the lack of any indication that the upload was completed correctly that bothers me. Also, maybe because of the site being down for a few days, to extend the time we had our books out for validation, the book will expire in two days email was turned off. But, it hasn't been turned back on because I (and at least several others on the list) are not getting those emails. Also, several people on the list have had problems with searches with books recently. So have I. I seem to remember that on the old site, I could put in any two or three words from a long title in any order and it would find the right book (along with a few that were close). Now, it seems that the only way to get correct results from the search is to have exactly the right words in exactly the right order. For example, to find "Dewey the small-town library cat that touched the world," if you put in "Dewey cat," you get nothing found. If you put in "library cat," because the words are in the right order the book is found. This is a very finicky search program. I do like the search box being in the same place on nearly every page, though. Ok, I've done my grumbling for the day, so now I can say I really like the book, submitter, validator history functions.
