If the person who submitted the book still has the .ark file, the submitter could simply resubmit the book in .rtf format.
I was very happy to validate .ark books and Mike and I did a number of them.However, there is one book there that has no page showing the title and author and I don't feel comfortable adding them. There is another book with no page showing the authors (although the authors are listed with the stories). I saw the authors of that book listed in different ways in different sources and don'tfeel comfortable determining how the authors should be listed on a title page.
Beyond that some of the books are far too violent for me to validate, and there are issues regarding a coupld of the other books that I don't want to chat about.
But suffice it to say that some of the remaining .ark books do need work.Personally, I would recommend that Carrie contact the submitters of those books to see if they can be resubmitted in .rtf format.
I have spent this whole week validating a rather tedious book on spirituality and have come upon a chart that is a mangled mess (after reading through 175 pages and adding a page break every other page, so I can't face an .ark file that would need a lot of work for a while.

Cindy,That isn't right....to reject then resubmit if you do that it takes away the work the scanner did. Maybe the bookshare staff will convert it for you if you want to validate one of them.Laura Ann At 01:17 AM 8/15/2008, you wrote:I was looking at the end of the download list and I see there are ARK book that have been there for a long time--at least one since 2007. If no one who has ark is interested in converting them to rtf and validating them, can someone download them, reject them, convert them to rtf and resubmit them? Or can someone at bookshare notify the submitter to submit them as rtf? I only opened one not noticing it was ark and the submitter had a note that it was rejected and she didn't know why because it was perfect.Cindy***WISH LIST (CALLED REQUESTED ADDITIONS TO THE BOOKSHARE COLLECTION)IS AVAILABLE AThttp://people.delphiforums.com/jamiecalton/Book_Requests.htm http://www.friendsofbookshare.org/ http://studentpages.alma.edu/~07jmyate/book_requests.htmA LIST OF BOOKS CURRENTLY BEING SCANNED IS AVAILABLE AT http://people.delphiforums.com/jamiecalton/scanning.htmlhttp://www.friendsofbookshare.org/ Jake's site for useful links: http://www.jbrownell.com/bkslinks.html To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
