Hi Cindy, There's a simple way to find your book on the checkout pages! There's an edit field just above the list of books available for checkout in which you can type either the title or the author of a book that you think is available for checkout. Then click the search button and when the page refreshes all titles or authors that have in them what you typed will show and no other results. You don't need to do this for every single page of results that are possible to see. Search on the first page, and the search will automatically search following pages without you needing to go to them. Hope that helps! It saves me a lot of time! As long as I remember either the title or the author of my lapsed book.

This evening I got the notice that my book was about to expire and went to renew it but the renewal option isn't there. Like Valerie, the notice is 2 days in advance. Today is the 19th and I see the book expires on the 21st. I hope I remember to check tomorrow or the 21st. I (and probably most of you) get busy and forget to check our books out. Then we get the notice that the book has been released and we can either let it go and let someone else take it if we haven't done a lot of work and don't care, or we have to go through the waiting that's involved to find it on the right page of books ready for checkout and check it out again Cindy Join us in celebrating our 10 <http://blog.bookshare.org/2012/03/11/join-bookshares-worldwide-10th-anniver sary-celebration/> th Anniversary! <http://blog.bookshare.org/2012/03/11/join-bookshares-worldwide-10th-anniver sary-celebration/> TinyURL.com/752cyrs _____ From: Cindy <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx> To: "bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2012 1:49 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: good news re renewals Good luck.

I went to my list of books, which opened with reasonable speed, and the renewal link was there. I clicked it (a couple of times, because at first nothing happened), and after a few minutes the screen changed and my book had been renewed Cindy Join us in celebrating our 10 <http://blog.bookshare.org/2012/03/11/join-bookshares-worldwide-10th-anniver sary-celebration/> th Anniversary! <http://blog.bookshare.org/2012/03/11/join-bookshares-worldwide-10th-anniver sary-celebration/> TinyURL.com/752cyrs
