While Bookshare's official policy may not require one to scan and submit =
a
book with indecies, but I find them essential when researching material.
One of the reasons why I'm absolutely against RFBD is that because the
organization believes that there is no use for these items. For those =
books
whose authors/editors have deemed it necessary to include and index,
generally someone will find a use for it. I generally try to do as much =
as
I can to ensure that the index is as usable as I can make it. =20

Brian,
I used to worry about that. Actually, the scans in
books I validated were readable but the formatting was
not right. I just put a note in the long synopsis that
if any reader needed the index of bibliography to
contact me and I'd get the book and fix them.
However, a while ago we were told that we didn't have
to worry about indices ot bibliographies, and I heaved
a great sigh or relief! If you'e scanning, I'd scan
them, because, as I said, they are frequenly readable,
even with a lot of errors, but if you're validating, I
wouldn't bother.
