[bksvol-discuss] Re: Admin. Q

Hi Carrie,

I grabbed the Doris Da biography and so far it is in excellent shape.  I
have been wishing her bio was in the collection.

Thanks,
Sue S.

I frequently validate my own submissions.  That group of 15 books I
submitted yesterday was from a group of 25 books, 10 of which I edited
myself because either there were massive amounts of garbage characters
(kiddie books with lots of pictures) or there was some white text on a black
background (do I need to retype those sections or can I safely ignore them?)
or there were charts and graphs in a book (or I wanted to read the book
myself).  If you know that validators will have problems and you have books
handy, I recoommend validating problem books yourself.  And of course if a
book of mine is on the download list for more than a month, I'll validate it
just to get it into the collection.

My 2 cents, Carrie

  My understanding is that Bookshare prefers that we not validate our own
  submissions. I would only do this if the book were on the step one page
for
  more than three months or I really knew why validators were having
problems
  with the book.
