BlankHi Dornetta:
Here's a checklist from the online guide:
3.6 Scanning Checklist
A. The file contains the title page, with the book title and the author's
name.
B. The file contains the copyright page (or if not, that it is freely
distributable, e.g. public domain or
Creative Commons licensed).
C. The file has no missing pages and no duplicate pages.
D. Missing or garbled text has been replaced with the correct sentences or
words from the original.
E. The file has page breaks or section breaks that correspond to the original
(1 per page).
F. The file is in the format: RTF.
G. The entire book is submitted in one file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can proofread as much of your scanned book as you need to comply with the
checklist above.
You can't checkin a book you've scanned and submitted.
Another person must check your scanned book.
Here's a link to the online guidelines.

Hello my fellow scanners:
I recently started scanning and have several books I have scanned accepted
into the collection but I have a question that maybe one of you can help me
with (it is a very simple and easy question). Do any of you have a "scanning
cheat sheet" that you can send me off-list? After scanning a book, I find
myself, going through the proofing steps...all of them. I am aware that this is
totally non compliant but I am also aware that "raw-scans" are not accepted or
at least we were told not to put them up. I am wondering what is considered too
much pre-proofing after a book is scanned?
I have 2 people waiting on books from me (and have given them personal
messages concerning the books) but this issue is a great hold-up for me in
getting books on the check out cue. I have about 5 or 6+ books on the computer
that needs to be submitted but this pre-proofing step is slowing me down. I
planned on taking the month of May to do mostly scanning (with the exception of
the 2 books in my cue) but this process is slow. Please help if you can or are
willing to.
send cheat sheet to: dornetta@xxxxxxxxx
Thanks kindly,
