HI Valerie,
I agree, it is nice to include as much of every book as is possible.
I'm all for completeness, but if there is not a way to get pages rescanned,
I'd rather not have the whole book rejected.
But I do agree with you whole-heartedly, whenever possible, to include all
of the book, indices, appendices, and all.

If I can play devil's advocate here, when it is possible, or practical, it
is wonderful to have an index included. I am working on emerging literacy
with Nichole, and I know for struggling students, especially those with
dyslexia, they will often use the index as a tool to teach students how to
find things. So, even if it is not mandatory or required by BookShare's
policy, it is helpful to students with physical or cognitive print
disabilities to have them included.
While I realize it is a little extra work, especially as someone who is
often a sighted proofreader for a blind scanner, it is nice if it can be
included.
Just my two cents worth...
Valerie
