I am trying to validate This Side of HEAVEN. I down loaded it in to my
documents, then unzipped it, then brought it up in word. Lastly I changed
the file name so it could be edited. I found many errors as well as missing
words or even possibly sentences. I am correcting the errors and trying to
figure out what is supposed to be written to complete missing sentences. It
is so garbled in some spots that I am going to check it out of the library
and try a rescan. The reason I am saying all of this is two fold. Firstly,
could my computer be doing something I.a. taking out words or not showing
them to me? Secondly, could the people who scan the books also validate them
since they have the print copies? This is just a suggestion. I know that I
am knew and do not know much about scanning and validating. You all are
doing a wonderful job and it is a privilege to read the books. I just wonder
if the books could be scanned and validated by the same person it would
save time and frustration. I have tried to validate four books and only one
has made it so far.
I would be grateful for any suggestions if anyone thinks my computer may be
causing some of the missing lines. Also, please give me feedback on what you
think of the same person scanning and validating.
Thank you
I love Book Share and truly want to make it the best it can be.
Hope
