Hi Ann,
If you can't tell where the page breaks should go, and no one is willing or able to get a print copy of the book to tell you where each page should begin, you may have to reject the book. Bookshare requires that 90% of the original page breaks be present in the book. If you can't get the book up to that status, you'll need to reject. Messing with the table of contents sort of makes the table of contents useless. 

Peace,
Mayrie

Hi Ann,

If there are long pages missing their page numbers, and it is not possible
or reasonably convenient to access the print copy, then I would recommend
removal of the page numbers from the table of contents, retaining as many
page numbers and breaks in the text as possible.  I believe this would
represent a reasonable compromise for getting the book into the collection
successfully, assuming all the content is present.

Thanks.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] book with odd page numbers


Hi all,

I have two books I'm working on.  The first one's excellent!  the
second one is a problem.  It was scanned using Open Book, and the
scanner scanned two pages at a time, but didn't tell OB that was what
was going on.  So, I have these long pages, some have page numbers in
the middle of the long pages so I have been putting in page breaks, but
some pages do not.  This book has a table of contents and if the pages
aren't right, the table of contents will be all katty-wampus.

What should I do?  Somebody took this book and then released it.  I
know why.  They didn't give any comments though, which would have
helped.  Advice, please?

Ann P.
