Hi Netta,

PQ means Publisher's Quality. Those are the sacred books sent directly to Bookshare by publishers. Once we have a PQ book, we volunteers are not able to do anything but read it.

Hope this helps.

Sandi

Hey guys!
Can someone please tell me what is a PQ book? I think that I know but want
to be sure.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we
are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most
frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened
about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission
to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others."-Mariann  Williamson

Hi,
Sandy, that's a great idea. Even though there are a lot of PQ books
out there, there are still more that will never be submitted.
One question, with your suggestion, are you saying that if a proofer
or scanner likes a book that is not on the site, they contact a
scanner or prooffer to see if they will do it? I think that's what you
said but I want to clarify.

Hi Ann,

The purpose is that a proofreader longing for a book to proof could
contact

a known scanner and ask if they'd be willing to scan it. A scanner with a
book that needs proofing could check with a proofreader or two to see if
they'd do it.  It just seems more efficient to me than tossing a book out
there on the checkout without a hold and hoping it gets taken.  And I was
hoping, also, to rouse some interest among proofers to peruse booklists
and

sites for books not in the collection that they'd like to proof, then work
with a scanner to get the book, scan and submit it, and hold it for the
person who contacted them.

Anyway, long explanation.  Sorry.

Sandi

Hi all,

Why go through all this?  The email and name of the scanner is listed in
the Book History.  I don't understand the need for a separate list.
