I have noticed that a lot of publisher quality books have a paucity of
metadata. I wonder if making a quality report with the suggested
categorization would help. By the way, I think this is an additional
argument for my idea of user added tags.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT: So when I was browsing Bookshare I saw
that...
Hello,
I was wondering about something. And I didn't know where else to throw
this out except the volunteer list.
Anyway, just now I clicked on the new to collection page. I was surprised
to see quite a few publisher quality Harlequin books.
The thing is, I didn't remember seeing them earlier, when I cruised
through the romance category Thursday afternoon.
Thinking maybe they were recently added since the date of addition was
5/13/2011 and where I am it's only a little after 1 a.m. Friday morning as
I type this, I thought maybe it was very recent.
However, I clicked to browse the romance category again, and I was
correct. Those books I saw on the new to collection page were not listed
in the romance category. In fact, when I clicked on one of the books
listed on the new to collection page, they didn't have a category selected
at all. Or at least, not that I saw.
Is this a simple oversight or is there a reason for this? I'm just a
little confused because normally when I want a romance, I look at the
romance category page for new additions.
I'll work through this if this is the way. But I'm going to find it a
little more time consuming to check out what's done by Harlequin and
what's a fiction novel with heavy romantic influence. If that makes sense
to everyone. Lol.
Thanks for listening to me ramble,
Natalie
