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.
