Hi Everyone: In the past 2 weeks many books have been approved which is great. A bunch of my validations have made it to the collection. However, yesterday I just happened to go on step1 page and found that one of my validations had been returned. I easily corrected the issue and it was approved today. I have noticed that there are quite a few books that have been returned to step 1 needing copyright holder verification. So my suggestion is that people should take a look at step 1 and see if your validations have been returned. I also encouraged people to be sure that the submission form was filled out properly. I have seen many books where the submission form had incorrect information such as wrong copyright holder, incomplete title and missing authors As validators we have final check so we should be sure that everything is correct. These books could have been in the collection if all information was present. Ok, I am off my soapbox now. *smile* *** Grace For scanning and validating tips check out http://www.jbrownell.com/bks/tl.asp For ideas of books to scan check out: the No Book Left Behind AKA Reject list http://www.jbrownell.com/bks/reject.asp Rescan List http://www.jbrownell.com/bks/rescan.asp
