Mass Editing for Listopia

Perhaps this is a more appropriate place to discuss this, hence the new post (sorry for the duplicates!).
So anyway, here's my issue: (this is a copy of the first post in the other thread)
"This came to me while I was editing a list in librarian mode. There were a bunch of inappropriate titles I wanted to remove from said list, and I had to do all of them individually. The list was over 10 pages long, and each time I deleted a title it brought me back to the first page, which was extremely annoying and time-consuming, to say the least. I had to scroll down, click to the page the book was on, and manually delete them one by one, over and over.
Maybe I'm missing something, but is there a more efficient way to do this? A mass edit option where I could check titles I didn't want and delete them at a go? I understand that this might cause accidental deletions, so maybe an undo button could help as well. Since being a librarian is voluntary, perhaps the work could be made more efficient (just spent over three hours going through 10 pages, a check-box system would definitely have sped things up). Thank you."
