Hi Everyone,
I am pasting below the portion of the volunteer manual
dealing with the issue of page breaks, or one of them
anyway. Section breaks are not page breaks, and are not interpreted
in my experience as such. One book that I validated had been
returned to the step 1 page only because the previous validator had
not converted the section breaks to page breaks. That was what the
note from Claire gave as the reason for returning it to the step 1 page.
3.1.7 Books Must Contain Page Breaks
Bookshare.org has made it a matter of policy to no longer accept
books without page breaks. It is part of Bookshare's on-going effort
to raise the quality
of books in the collection.
New books should not only contain page breaks but should be paginated
the same as the scanned books. This is necessary in order to
effectively facilitate
reader discussions, searches, and indexing.
However, Bookshare.org does not wish for a book to be rejected if a
book is only missing a few page breaks. As a guideline, a book must
have at least 90%
of its page breaks and they should be in the correct places. In other
words, if there are problems with more than approximately 10% of a
book's page breaks,
and the validator is unable to fix the problems, then the book should
be recommended for rejection.
I'd love for Bookshare staff to comment here, but I really
do believe that those section breaks in place of page breaks need to
be converted to page breaks.
Peace,
Mayrie
