The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought
of
their act as violence;
rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness.
The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever
committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944)

Roger,
I think it depends. Currently, I am working on a BSO of Heritage And
Exile by Marion Zimmer Bradley. When I originally purchased the book,
it was not available in the collection, or at least, not that I could
find at the time. Since then, a copy became available. So, when I
saw that the book was riddled with errors, I decided it would be
simpler to simply rescan since I have a copy on hand.
However, if you do not have a copy on hand, I do indeed believe a
quality report is the best solution. It seems as though it would be
cheaper to report it than to buy if you haven't already.
Just my humble oppinion,
Courtney

to report any quality issues, so four days ago I did. Just now, because
of
curiosity about whether the quality team had made any comments, I went
to
the
unresolved quality reports page and, in fact, a comment had been made.
It
said that the book will be rescanned and it should be available in two
months. I am glad that Bookshare is so promptly taking care of these
things,
but
is it really necessary anymore for volunteers to scan a BSO? It looks
like
it
is easier and more efficient to just make a quality report and
Bookshare
will do the rest.
