Speaking starting from the bottom, I will do the slocum books by Jake Logan.
I have started the Slocum and the invaders. The sex doesn't bother me and
they are short too.

Thanks, Scott, for your flash of sanity. I often do that, unless I want a nice, relaxing read. Often I have a number of books in my step-2 queue, with the thought that I'll get to them in a short time, and they aren't on step-1.

No if we only could get Gustavo to do that with the administrator's queue. smile

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Since this thread began a day or so back, I've been astounded by the fact that nobody has put forth the incredible idea of ... browsing the books from the bottom of the page up. If the older books are in fact at the bottom of the list, and there are some who would like to get those languishing submissions into the collection, then why not simply move to the bottom of the page, and start working your way up. Am I missing a fundamental concept or reason why this method would not work? If the current problem is that people only browse through the first few dozen books, or even as many as a hundred titles, then working from the opposite end of the list would seemingly begin to solve the current issue of books stagnating on step one.

Why put the old books at the bottom instead of the
top?

Heya Jake,
I know Carrie does a lot for the list and I have validated a couple of her scans. Both excellentJ
I agree with what you are saying Jake. IF we could get the list down to 200 to 250 it would make browsing and selecting books to validate easier. Now the newest books or the books that are put back on step one are at the top. The first 100 get browsed and selected while those at the bottom of the list linger.
But the nice thing is we keep growing the collection and the admin queue is well under 100 these daysJ
I read/validated a book called the Little Ice Age a while back and this morning on the bus had a wonderful discussion with a former storm chaser and meteorologist.

AHH! Yikes, we want to shrink it though. *grin*
It might be best to hold off on the bulk scanning until we can get this list down to a better, more manageable number like 250, rather than the 430 it is now.
That would have the added benefit of us working on older books that have been around for a while, and, if that is done, then the turn around time for books overall should improve.
Thoughts? Other ideas?
Jake
PS. In no way does this message want to say we don't appreciate all you do for us Carrie!
