Another site update on Sharing Books has gone out, and some users may have had a minor interruption of service around 9:30am PST. This update brings the following things to the Sharing Books website:

• Cleaner, quicker, and in theory more accurate search using quick search and advanced searching features on the site.
• Some improvements to some backend processes.
• For our Volunteer Librarians your navigation should now cease it's magical disappearing act.
• New and improved buttons for us administrators of the site to download your book and text versions of your book without having to download from the frontend of the site or the DB directly!

Not the most exciting of updates I know, but these changes do let us get into a cleaner, quicker workflow on administration of the site. That means our book creators should be getting faster turnaround times for ISBNs and the like. It also means we can start moving faster with anyone we strategically partner with, getting them content in a much more timely manner.
