That is ture.
I forgot that.
The validation instructions for the regular books was to download, look
for
title, copyright, author, and if it was "complete".
And it was supposed to take ten minutes or less.
Man Prat has it really been that long! Smile, am counting six years or is
it seven in January, smile.

Shelly,
that was a procedure only reserved for the public domain books that
bookshare added to its collection before it came live. It's amazing that
the two of us have been around since then. Thanks for tollerating us
guys.

Also Monica, in the first year of ookshare volunteers, were not truly
shown
the "whole" book.
Smile. We were shown a certain pain, was like the first and last 500
words
and we had to decide from there if it was appropriate to add to the
collection.
This was before Bookshare went life, which was a half year after I started
working for them.

I can see both sides here. I understand Bookshare staff wanting
books to be rescanned. On the flip side, some of the books that
were submitted during the first 3 years are in in a condition that
could be fixed by a normal validation procedure, (removing headers,
inserting page breaks where the numbers already are, and fixing
common scannos like cornpany for the word company.) Many books in
the good quality section are in this group. I have felt both sad
and somewhat annoyed that whoever validated these books didn't
appear to make any efforts toward fixing obvious errors. I guess
requiring a rescan is intended to make sure we have the best copy
possible.
