I don't see why it might be a bit more trouble, but why not put the holds in a different compartment, and then when there is a hold let that person know privately say go and check out the "hold for" page I put a book up there for you. That way, everything on the check out page would be something that if anyone was interested could check out. I have to face it for me, I am not that confident yet in what I know, and I have to be careful what I proof I just can't grab anything, not because of the scanners but because of myself I am just not confident enough to do hard stuff yet so it would be rare that there would be a hold for me anyhow so that way I could just stick to the main list of books I'm not a team with nobody anyhow nor would anyone want me to be LOL but that is OK I just help out when, and now if, I can.

Hi, I second what Judy has said. I ditto that, Valerie and others. Don't let these ridiculous actions get you down. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judy s." <cherryjam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, March 01, 2010 1:36 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: The hold discussionValerie, I'm sorry that the inability of a few volunteers here has made you reach this decision, and ask you to reconsider.If anyone poaches anything of yours, then I'll be honored to be first in line to stand with you and get the situation corrected.You've done so much for readers who are waiting for books on the wish list. Don't let a few volunteers who have the mistaken belief that rules are only for others, or for times when they're convenient for them, ruin it for you or for the many who you have so willingly and generously helped out since becoming a volunteer.Judy s.

Over the past year I have invested all of my fun money in buying books to add that I want to read that were requested and no one was doing. Proofreading is my fun and I actually prefer it to reading. The policy was softened after feedback about the brief period so that those of us with extenuating circumstances can still work on the books we bought or dealt with library systems as well as series partnerships. I have worked with a few excellent scanners who I have sent books to or I do them as their library gets them and some times they come in waves. I may not have any for a month and then 6 in a week. I still think since I bought them for the specific purpose of adding them I should be able to proof them. I will try to refrain from looking at new wishlist items and help the few people I have already promised books to and just do mine from here out.
