Welcome Lelia.
Where do you want to start?
If you are planning on scanning then let us know what scanning program you
have. If you are planning on validating, let us know how you plan on going
about it.
In other words, let us know your strengths and weaknesses. For example, I am
a lousy scannor. I know it, and if I were to be the only person scanning for
bookshare our collection would increase by 1 per year--and that one would be
of fair quality. I also know, that I am a good listener and can audibly edit
books with good accuracy. I also use Kurzweil's editing tools to help out.
We have talked about having a mentor program, and I tried mentoring one
person and we just didn't click. So, if you find someone on this list that
seems to give good advice perhaps you could send a personal message to them.
When I started validating, I was out to impress the world. I found a book on
step 1 called "the story of civilization, volume 35" or something like that.
I contacted E, whose name seemed to be attached to that book, and asked my
question. She gently suggested that a beginning validator should start with
some simpler. You will learn that E doesn't often give gentle advice, but
usually gives good advice here.
So, as I said, let us know where you want to start, and what you want to do
and with what tools. In other words, take time with your questions, and
we'll take time with our answers.
Also, once more, welcome.
Bob

Hi, Lelia.
Welcome to the list!
The best tip I can give is, when you're not sure about something, just
ask. I learned a lot by just posting my questions to this list; there are
many helpful people here.
