Hi Scott this is a great way to work on these.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Update: Selecting "PQ Safe" Books


Volunteers,

Improving the quality of books in our collection is an ongoing effort. We have created a new list to make that easier for those who thrive on guaranteeing a quality reading experience for members and want to tackle the quality challenge systematically.

The 300 most popular Fair quality books were identified. Eliminating those most likely to be replaced by PQ copies we are left with 179. As you pick the titles you want to work on be sure to announce them to the group as booka being scanned.

Under construction: A list of the top 300 Good quality books for upgrade.

Anybody have suggestions for other ways of applying this strategy of developing lists that are pre-vetted to be (fairly) PQ safe?
