I completely agree with this suggestion, and think they'd have much few problems that way. People would get less frustrated, and more books would get in the collection, because people wouldn't waste time doing something that was already in the process of being done. Also, if the search would search everything and indicate which step the book is in the process, people wouldn't request books that are in the works.

I suggested years ago (and many times) that Bookshare implement a thing to submit wishes just like a person submits a book to "step 1" which is the books to checkout for proofreading list now. Then a person could "check out" a wish to indicate they would scan it, and then go back to that list to submit the book to the proofreading list. Then a person would check out the book for proofreading and return to submit it for final approval just like they do now. It is, indeed, very hard now to check all of the lists. The web page with the books being scanned is very old and I don't keep the daily list once I've glanced through it. The outsourced books list, I'm not sure how often that one is updated. I don't even have the link for it now because it's lost in my bookmarks from my old computer and I don't know how to import them to my new computer when parts of that drive are unusable.-- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: The Lock Artist by Steve HamiltonEarn cash for answering trivia questions every 3 hours: http://instantcashsweepstakes.com/invitations/ref_link/49497See everything I've read this year at: www.michiganrxtech.com/books.html <http://www.michiganrxtech.com/books.html>
