Sue:

The titles of rejected books are placed on Rui's list in hopes that someone will rescan them.

Just a reminder to the list, if anyone is looking for something to scan over the holidays, don't forget to check out Rui's list of books that need to be rescanned or his No Book Left Behind Initiative, otherwise known as the list of rejected books. You may find something that peaks your interest.

Happy Scanning.

Grace

Hello:
yes, you would reject in the usual way and then let me know about it.
i then place that book on the list (without your name)

Someday maybe i'll be directly linked to bookshares database and all
rejected books will automatically end up on my list. But until heck freezes
over, we have to do it the clunky way.

Rui,

Does this mean we reject it in the usual way but e-mail your list as well?

Hello everyone: we are approaching 200 messages for the last 24 hours. let's try to tone it down. otherwise we will have more people unsubscribing.

As far as rejecting books goes, anyone who does reject a book, i encourage
you to e-mail booksharescans@xxxxxxx
Your book will be added to the "no book left behind list." This list does
servr as a good resource for people who want to scan but aren't sure what
book to scan.
that along with the other lists on the page are only as up-to-date as
bookshare volunteers make it.


speaking of which, time for me to update Marissa's list. (smile)
