OK, assuming the book is in RTF format when it's received...did you register
to become a volunteer? Did you get the instructions for validating books?
That would be a start and give you some things to look for. In those
instructions, the bare minimum is listed, but many of us do more than that.
If you don't have those instructions, I don't have them, but maybe someone
has a copy they can send you. If you're taking a book from the Step One
page, where you download books that need to be validated, you check for
completion to make sure the book is complete with no missing pages. You
check copyright info and make sure the book is not an e-book. There are some
university materials that are submitted that throw people off because they
look like e-books, but those are not to be rejected. <smile> You do a spell
check and fix any errors you find, or, if you're so inclined, you can read
the book completely through and correct errors as you come to them. Page
breaks are a must. Bookshare will no longer accept books without page
breaks, but usually, that's not something you have to worry about with an
RTF file. I'm not sure if I've answered your question, but if not,
definitely feel free to ask more. That's what this list is for and I'm sure
someone will be glad to help. Take care.
