Hi everyone,
Here¹s our summary of the process for correcting books with bad content
the issue we were discussing on the list for the last couple of days.
Bookshare.org is now requesting that books be rescanned if a volunteer
wishes to improve a book in the collection. Here¹s why:
After reviewing the various options for converting books in the collection
to one of the formats required for submission, it has been determined that
unfortunately, there is no way to convert a book already in the collection
to a submission format without an unnacceptable reduction in the subsequent
quality of the books navigation.
Depending on which option would be used, the resulting file will be missing
page breaks or page numbers, and it may be missing formatting such as bold,
italic, underlining or text size. Since the loss of quality could be as
much, if not more, than the quality gained by cleaning up the text,
Bookshare.org has decided that it is in the best interests of its members at
this time for books to be rescanned if a volunteer wishes to improve the
quality of a book.
Thanks, Lisa and the Bookshare.org team
