Cindy, et al,
I'm still astounded with the number of times it has been posted, that
you won't simply point your browsers to
http://jbrownell.com/bkslinks.html
Choose English Books sorted by most recent publication date. Open your
favorites/bookmarks and add the site. Then, whenever you want the new book
information, navigate to that page using your favorite/bookmark.
It seems silly for Cindy to go to the trouble of gathering a list and
editing out everything except title/author to post each night, when you can
get all the information very easily.
We're working on getting BookShare to post links to this on their site.
I can leave the synopses in. (I've enjoyed reading them myself).I've been deleting them. I can also leave in the quality rating. In an effort to keep the list from being too long, I've been deleting everything Jake's list contains except the title and author.
Would most of you like to see the synopses and quality ratings? If not, I can send that list separately to Rose.
Cindy

I wish there was a way to see the new books in English also, without any hassle of going to another site,. Cindy's lists are great but they don't contain the synopsis which can sometime be helpful, if the powers at be decide to enter them, that is. It always annoys me to see synopsis: None.

Hi Cindy,
thanks for bringing me up to date on the new books question.
I must confess I've been off the list for some time, but came back on just in the past few days.
Not sure if the "power that be" monitor the list, but it really might be useful to add a combo box to choose language in book searches and that could include new books also.
Just a thought.
I plan to stay on the list, so your postings to the list will be a real help.
Thanks,
Don

Don,
The New Books one can access from the Browse Books on the volunteer page show, usually a day late because of the difference between California time and the rest of the country. So it will show whatever Gustavo put in that day, be it English-language of Spanish-language books.
Jake has been able to get, instantly, a list of books added, and he's divided the lists into English-language and Spanish-language. Each night I check his list, with his permission, and post to both the bookshare and volunteer lists the English-language books that have been added to the collection each day that there are any. Yesterday there was only one.
In case you missed it, below is the list of books added yesterday--only one--and the day before. If you don't check the bookshare list on a daily basis and want me to e-mail you the list it's no extra trouble for me and I'll be happy to.
Cindy
P.S. Also, below the list, is the tiny URL to Jake's list, which has, I beleive, 100 of the newest books, whereas I only post each day's additions.
Cindy
