Hi Valerie,
Because I've been running into this with some stuff submitted for me
too, I looked at the book history to see if it was similar. aHA! It is!
It's being caused by a programming change in the metadata page that we
fill in when we submit a book that we scan or one that we've proofread.
If you check the history, you'll see that Booklady actually did put a
hold for you on it. However, she put it in parentheses on the title line
before the title name and put the series name and number in the title
line as well in parentheses.
I've learned from recent experience myself that Bookshare's site now
gets confused if you put anything in parentheses in the title field on
the metadata page when you are submitting or checking in a book.
It will also get really confused if you put a colon anywhere in the
title field.
When a title is entered with parentheses or with a colon, the site may
strip stuff out of the title field that is really in there when it
displays it on the volunteer checkout, books in process or approval
queue pages. YUCK!
You might want to tell Booklady about this for future submissions.
Here's what I've found works:
Put the title of the book in the title field. Just the title, and
nothing else.
If it has a subtitle (including anything that comes after a colon) put
that in the subtitle field.
Put the series name in the series title field.
Put the series number in the series number field. Be careful to not put
a # sign in there, just the actual number, or you'll get weird stuff
showing up in the title.
Also, if you run into this, the "edition" field on the metadata page we
fill in is only used in instances like textbooks, where a textbook is an
updated second edition, for example. It's not used except for that.
Hope that helps! smile

Thanks, Deborah! I had done that, but not everyone checks email often, so I was “covering my bases.” She did reply and released it, but it is not on checkout; still showing as in process. Ugh!

Please email me again if I don't get back to you. Life gets busy, and sometimes I forget. I don't mind being reminded to keep in touch 😊

Hi Valerie,
You can find Frenchie's email address by going into the book history. Email them and ask if they'll release it.
Otherwise you'll probably have to ask Amanda.

Does anyone here know the volunteer named Frenchie? I have been working on the Judy Bolton mysteries with Jennifer Dunnam and she forgot to put a hold for me on #21 and someone else checked it out. I had purchased the hard copy to be able to proofread it and I’m hoping to get that volunteer to release the book.
Thanks for any help!
