Andrew,
I highly suspect that this book was obtained either from the publisher or
an organization such as a college scanned the material--but the copyright
notice leads me to believe the former. In that event, I would recommend
that the book be rejectedd. While highly usable, this book cannot be used
under Bookshare's rules.
Marissa, Gustavo, comments?

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Newby question
Hey all, I am andrew and a new volunteer. I was going to clean java
solutions by John Lewis and William Loftus. However, there was a weird note
that threw me off in the beginning. It said:
The e-text contained in this computer file serves as an alternate format to
print for a person with a disability. E-text permits those who would be
denied or limited access to the print version of the book to read the book.
Any use of the e-text for purposes other than disability accessibility is
prohibited by copyright laws.
Print to E-text Conversion Note: Each chapter, unit, or section is
tagged with five colons (::::J to mark the beginning of the
chapter/unit/section. Print page numbers are inserted in the text. The
e-text is not an exact rendition of the printed book. The e-text contains
scanning errors, and many print elements such as math and science symbols do
not convert to e-text well. No descriptions of non-text portions of the
print book such as graphics and illustrations are provided. Not all
elements of the print book were converted to e-text.
Symbols and equations not readable.
Could someone explain this to me. Does this mean it has already been cleaned
or is this something I need to remove? Sorry for such dumb newby questions!
Andrew
