Hi Natalie, Guido said not long ago that there are no stupid questions here. What you said is basically correct. However, if you download a book from Step 1 you should check the collection for bookshare.org to make sure it is not a duplicate. Also, Marissa's List to see if another copy might be awaiting approval. If you do not see yoour selected book, go to it!!! <smile> Sue S. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Natalie" <nataliesgroups@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 25, 2005 5:48 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] A question about validating books Hi everyone. I just got email back from Morissa, and it had all the instructions for downloading books to validate. Now, I'm probably going to show my ignorance, but all the books listed on the step one download page still need to be validated right? Sorry for what probably seems like a stupid question, but this is my first time doing this so I don't want to screw this up.
