Roger, I think it depends. Currently, I am working on a BSO of Heritage And Exile by Marion Zimmer Bradley. When I originally purchased the book, it was not available in the collection, or at least, not that I could find at the time. Since then, a copy became available. So, when I saw that the book was riddled with errors, I decided it would be simpler to simply rescan since I have a copy on hand. However, if you do not have a copy on hand, I do indeed believe a quality report is the best solution. It seems as though it would be cheaper to report it than to buy if you haven't already. Just my humble oppinion, Courtney On 5/11/09, Rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx <Rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx> wrote:A while back I downloaded a fair quality book. I knew beforehand that it would have problems and, indeed, it did. I supposed that it would remain thatway until some volunteer decided to scan a BSO, but we have been instructed to report any quality issues, so four days ago I did. Just now, because ofcuriosity about whether the quality team had made any comments, I went to the unresolved quality reports page and, in fact, a comment had been made. It said that the book will be rescanned and it should be available in twomonths. I am glad that Bookshare is so promptly taking care of these things,butis it really necessary anymore for volunteers to scan a BSO? It looks likeit is easier and more efficient to just make a quality report and Bookshare will do the rest. "Philosophers have merely interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it."
