Folks,

We realize that the practice of inserting "Hold for..." in the scanning list 
makes finding a book to scan more difficult when using a screen reader. To 
address this we have submitted a request to our engineers to create an option 
for sorting on "Hold for" to create lists that consist entirely of books with 
or without that tag. Fulfillment of these sorts of requests remains somewhat of 
a mystery even to us in-house. I am not saying that this issue will be resolved 
soon just that it is on its way to someboay's desk who is capable of resolving 
it.

Later this week a local used bookstore holds a  25% off sale. Bookshare staff 
will swoop down on them and bring back new titles for you to scan.
