Yes, I've seen books with that notation in the comments. Most of them have
been around for a long time, though...can't remember, but I think I might
have picked one or two of those up and taken care of them....

I'd have to go on thepage and check, but both have the word Research in the title. I'm expecting a book to come back--not sure if I included the whole title, so I'm watching for it. But they are both textbooks, and look like they might be pretty complex--which is perhaps why they were "Hold for Bookshare."
The notation is in the comments, not before the title.

Which books are those?

I suspect there was a pretty good reason, so I left them there, but they've been there quite a while. I wonder if they have someone to validate them.

Jake,
I've notice the Step 1 list shrinking as well. I think it's probably due to books being processed and Carrie's being tied up with bestsellers and playing bridge. It's amazing how fast it can shrink sometimes when Carrie isn't adding forty books a week to it and how fast it grows when she does. <Smile>

Hi all,
Firstly, I'd like to applaud the work the BookShare Team and Volunteers have done in the first quarter of 2006! This year is definitely shaping up to be a good one from all the signs we've seen so far, ie. increased funding that will allow BookShare to begin work on meeting some long term goals.
That said, I'm happy to report that the Step 1 page has been less than 400 books for a few days now. I'm hoping this is because books aren't sitting around on it forever, and not that people are working on 15 books at a time.
And, that said, I know some of you have been wanting to root out the titles that have been on the page for a long time. I've compiled a list of the tob 27 books that have been there since before February 2005. And actually a couple of the books were submitted as early as January 2004!

Yeah, I know a lot of these titles look boring and generally unappealing. The only one I have personal experience with is the Mystery of Capital. The book has lots of split words and little things that need correcting. If someone were interested in cleaning up the book it would be doable, and that's the only reason I didn't reject it.
BTW this list was ordered with the oldest books at the top.
Happy Volunteering! Jake
