Cindy, As Jill indicated, BSO is not part of the title of the book, but the title of the file, so you won't be able to see it by doing a search. You also won't be able to see it as part of the filename since you aren't a menmber and therefore can't download books from the collection. As I indicated in an earlier message, it's not necessary to ask Gustavo because he has already explained the purpose of BSO. BSO in the title is a way for him to get a quick indication that the book is intended to replace an existing book in the collection. It's not the only way to indicate this, however. As long as someone has placed a note in the comments which explains the same thing, then Gustavo won't kick the book back when he finds a copy already in the collection. After thinking about it, it's possible that Gustavo has access to both the title entered by the submitter and the title entered by the validator since the title entered by the submitter appears to still be in the system. I was thinking earlier that the initial title was no longer available when Gustavo approves the book, but I'm not sure that's the case since the original info appears to be what's there if Gustavo kicks the book back. Gustavo will also remove BSO prior to approving the book, so it's not necessary that the validator do it.

As far as she knows, of course, sice she wasn't the submitter. I just checked the collection and R of P is there in excellent condition, no BSO. I also did an Advanced search with BSO in the title and the only books were ones that had bso as part of the actual title, e.g., in the word absolute. If the BSO shows up in the BRF copies, maybe it would be preferable to remove it when uploading *as long as one remembers to write in the comments section that it's a replacement,* so Gustavo knows? I agree with Lisa and Elizabeth, it would be nice to hear from Gustavo what he'd prefer. Perhaps you could ask him for us, Gerald?
