Oh no I was mainly speaking of Bob's books in the cue in fact out of the cue
now I wasn't talking about the books ready for proof reading, I realize those
take a while in lots of cases.

Are you talking about proofreaders, Gwen? If you are talking about books
stuck on the checkout list, there are no guarantees, unless you work well with
a person and they will do anything you send in. You cannot force volunteers to
proofread books they have no interest in. I will occasionally do a title not
of specific interest to me to help a submitter I know does very high quality,
but that is the exception to the rule for me.
Take care!

I think a timely manner is the key.
And those who have scanned for years and their books are good, and everyone
knows they are good, to me there shouldn't be a delay.
Some books get up there right away, so what is the difference in books?
Especially those of like Robert's when his books have been tried and true
for a long time.
Eventually volunteers are gonna quit submitting books, because they aren't
getting anywhere. Some books stay up there for a long time.
It's grand for kids books grand for grants, but I think they are forgetting
the submitters especially those hard working ones like Bob who turns in a
quality scan each and every time not like his wife who turns no quality scans
LOL.
I understand me, but Bob that is different.
His should go right away.

That's fine as long as our books get into the system on a timey matter.

I think BKS's concern is to do books that fit their grant money.
educational which seems to be most books for kids and teens in addition to text
books, of course. Adult books don't seem to be educational- especially those
that have some romance in them. Since they have out-sourcers and do their grant
books with them as well as in house, I feel like I need to continue to scan
adult books for the rest of us who aren't students and who don't want to read
kids books and teen books.

I've noticed a strong emphasis on children's books as well. This is
wonderful, so long as it isn't at the expense of books for us adults, too.

I am just wondering about bookshare policy of submitted books. Taking a
look at the cue, it looks like children's books which is okay but what about
books that are just for pleasure.
