Hi all,
Thanks for all of your assistance. At this point, I am not sure how to find
out who the submitter was. But the book is very 'text-bookish' - title is
"Remarkable Providences 1600-1760" edited and introduced by John Demos. I
will email Gustavo and see what he thinks. Can anyone tell me what his email
address is please?
Thanks again,
Lea

Hi, Lea. Who is the submitter? I think I remember once this issue coming
up when Marisa was still here, and I think she said some of their university
submissions have this info in it. I'd find out who the submitter is and if
this is the case with this book before rejecting it, if anyone suggests tha
t. Take care.

Subject: [bksvol-discu ss] e-books and validation
Hello all,
It's been a while since I've posted, but I've been happily validating in
the background since I've joined Bookshare.
I have run accross a book that has raised in issue for me, and I'm not
sure if I fully understand the information listed in the validation document
regarding this issue - so I'm hoping that some of you may be able to shed
some light on this for me.
I've downloaded a book that is obviously an e-book. It has the following
paragraph at the beginning of it:
The e-text contained in this computer file serves as an alternate format
to print for a person with a disability. E-text permits those who would be
denied or limited access to the print version of the book to read the book.
Any use of the e-text for purposes other than disability accessi bility is
prohibited by copyright laws.
Print to E-text Conversion Note: Each chapter, unit, or section is
tagged with five colons (::::J to mark the beginning of the
chapter/unit/section. Print page numbers are inserted in the text. No
descriptions of non-text portions of the print book such as graphics and
illustrations are provided. Not all elements of the print book were
converted to e-text.
**********************
Should I attempt to validate this ? Or is this type of book not allowed
to be used by Bookshare?
Thanks in advance,
Lea
