Carie,
It seems Bookshare is missing operational systems for dealing with
publisher-quality books that are withdrawn and where a
volunteer-produced copy exists. Publisher quality submissions
displace volunteer produced copies. However, it doesn’t seem that an
organizational mechanism exists to return the volunteer-produced copy
when the publisher copy is removed.
Might this title have been returned to the collection but classified
as British English and not be located with the default search, which
Betsy apparently has decided to be American English only rather than
all English titles?
