Do you know about Marissa's List? If you download it
from Rui's site, and do a Find, you can find out if
your book is being validated or is in the
administrator pool. If you give us the title, I can
check quickly for you, because Ihave it on my
desktop--well, maybe not so quickly because I'm
leaving the house soon.
Here is the URL for the lists Rui is kind enough to
keep up for us--books requested, books that need to be
re-scanned because of their condition, books that
people are validating, and books awaiting
administrator approval. Imay have left something out,
but if I have you'll find it.
The only problem with Marissa's list (named in honor
of a former bookshare employee who maintained it until
she left to go to graduate school,; I've included for
myself the name of her predecessor who started it). is
that it isn't updated frequently, so it gets out of
date quickly. Still, it's better than nothing.
