And they'll never have access to excellent books which they can enjoy if they keep running into fair books which cause them to give up in dismay.

Absolutely Jackie! I think most of the volunteers hold to your standard ofquality. There really are just a handful of folks who consistently submitpoor quality scans of books that can easily be scanned well. I am in no waycriticizing folks for volunteering to earn credit toward a subscription. All of us who are both members and volunteers use our credits to pay for some or all of our subscriptions. And my purpose is in no way to deny anyone access to BookShare. I just know that most of us work hard at building this collection and I hoped to find a solution for something that has been a consistent problem.Policy change is one way to approach it, but as that hasn't happened yet, I was looking for a painless way to get things moving. I have access to a lotof books, I don't mind scanning books that I'd never read in a million years, but if others want to read them, then I want them to have access to them. They'll never have this access if the book remains on step one because of poor quality which can be fixed. Okay, I think I've had too much coffee today! Here's to finding a solution!
