Great!

Start at line 560 and work toward the top of the list.

First look for the book in our collection. If it is there record the URL and 
the book quality. Please delete any characters after the question mark in the 
URL. The URL still works without it. All that stuff does is record where the 
query came from and it makes the URL needlessly long.

If the book is not in our collection yet or is less than Excellent or PQ put a 
question mark in the cell marked ISBN or highlight that cell yellow.

Whoever else wants to join in on this effort start at the first book and 
announce yourself to the list. Next person start at line 200. Next person line 
300. That way the project can be self-managed. I'll monitor.

Hi Scott,

I'll happily take on as many books from the list as you'd like.  I like that
kind of work.  Just let me know what you'd like me to search out in the
collection.

Bookshare has a list of 600 books from a personal collection that have been
made available for possible scanning. First we need to see which of them we
already have in the collection in Excellent or PQ quality. Most on the list
are children's, tween, and young adult books.  With half a dozen volunteers
each looking up 100 books we can zip through the list in no time. Interested
in this first step?
