Hi.
You can submit a quality report for the book.
You do this by clicking on the book's title on the Bookshare website. There is
a link under the book info that says "submit a quality report." Bookshare will
look into it and e-mail you if/when the book is fixed.
HTH,
Christina

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] A novel I am reading for my class that has some
scannoes. Can they be fixed? I mean can the book be replaced?
Hello Everybody,
Hope you are having a good day wherever you are. So, I have a
question and I don't know if it's possible or not. So, there is this
novel I am reading "To Kill a mockingbird" by Harper Lee. I am almost
done this book, however, as the book approaches to its end, I see many
scannoes. I mean I know what they mean and I am fine with them, but I
am sure many students will read that book and I don't want other
people to be confused. You know? I want other kids to have the right
accessible novel. I don't want people dealing with such small and
funny scannoes that I am dealing with. I mean, I will be done with
thet book soon, but I am putting a request to all the people/email
addresses that I have been given to contact. So, to prove my point to
everyone, I will give you an example of scanno. So, the book says,
(bookshare book)
"Oh yes, the guards called tc= him to stop. They fired a few shots in
the air, then to kill. They got him just as he went over the fence
They said if he'd had two good arms he'd have made it, he was moving
that fast. Seventeen bullet holes in him. They didn't have to shoot
him that much. Cal, I want you to come out with me and help me tell
Helen."
OK.... It's not "TC =" at all!!!! So, that's what I mean. So, all I
am asking is to fix those scanoes if they can, please? I know these
scannoes sound like small ones and since it's a high school classic
book , I know you might say a high schooler should be able to figure
out that scanno. But still, it's always good to have the right book,
just in case a student is reading in the class with their braille
display and they read it TC = the other people would be like that's
not the right word!! I hope that can be fixed. I hope you understand
me. I mean kind of. But if someobyd will help me by checking in the
print book and see the book, I will specifically pull out page numbers
for you if you are willing to help. Thank you very much for your
understand. P.S. if that can't be fixed and replace the book, it's
OK. I was just trying to see if that can be better for other students
my age. Thanks!
