I was actually thinking about this topic earlier this morning. What do you all think about the suggestion that submitters be allowed to validate their own submissions with the understanding that they only get credit for one part of the process. I am thinking of scanning a book called Love Dare, assuming it isn't already in the collection; I will read the book carefully and it seems that if a submitter could validate their own work it would put books into the collection faster. I do not believe that anyone should get double credit for their work because this would make it too easy for people to submit sloppy work for double credit. Curious as to what you all think. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of E.

I validated a book, spending several hours fixing it up. I sent it up to the validation queue. Carrie sent it back with a note saying a couple of fractions needed to be fixed up. The submitter then grabbed the book, fixed the few minor errors and sent it on to the admin queue. In effect, the submitter gets credit for both submitting and validating the same book. This is in direct violation of bookshare rules. Those rules state that a submitter cannot validate his or her own submits. I ask that I get credit for validating From Pantry to Plate. E.
