The ISBN is not required, but if you do validate a book with an ISBN present
then put it in the form when you upload.
You don't have to save the comments and other information from the download
page, but it can certainly be a useful thing to do, so you might want to copy
it in the future. If you desperately need to see that information you can go to
the Step 2 upload page, and release the book instead of uploading it. Then go
to the Step 1 page and find the book. Hit enter on the download link and look
at the page of information. When you are finished looking or have copied the
information you wanted, then download the book again, so bookshare knows it is
for validating again.yours Since you already have the file you don't actually
have to finish the download, but only let bookshare think you did. <smile> I
hope that makes sense.
Control-PageDown moves from page to page in Word, but you have to know that if
you use find or go to page that will be messed up, and you have to go in the
dialog and switch it back to moving by page when you hit Control-PageDown. If
you need more directions just ask and I will go through the procedure so I can
tell you what you need to do.
This list is for questions, so go on asking them if you have any. The
collection benefits from having knowledgeable volunteers adding to it, so
anything you ask about and learn benefits us all.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Newbie validating questions
Working on my first validation here.
I think I've read through all the stuff in the vol info instruction page.
I chose a book I'm fairly familiar with, thinking to ease myself into it.
Wouldn't you know I got a question...
This book has no ISBN # on the title page.
Copyright date and author fine.
I Googled around on the net and did find what I think was the same edition
at a bookseller's. Same number of pages. And it said "this copy has no
ISBN #."
So is there more I need to do? What do you do on the form?
I have not tried to do the Step 2 upload yet so I am not fully yet prepared
to know what all it will ask.
When you download the book from Step 1, should you copy into a file the info
on the page with the book before you go ahead and take it? I did not, and
I'm not sure where to see what the submitter said about it, other than what
I remember.
Also, when you are in Rich Text Format, how do you check the headers and
page numbers? It does not have a way to navigate to top of next page does
it without the formatting? PAGE DOWN just goes screen at a time, I think.
I guess I can do a search for the text of header, but I thought I'd just ask
you all.
I use JAWS for Windows if this is useful for anyone wanting to make a
suggestion.
Sorry for the tiresome newbie stuff, but I will learn, I promise. <g>
I like that HTH thing. Never heard of that. See I'm learning already.
Hope that helps. Nice.
