Here's what Pavi posted on how to handle footnotes, as of 4/23/2009:

"Standardized Guidelines for Footnotes, Superscript and Sidebars:

Bookshare appreciates the insertion of punctuation (brackets or parentheses) around footnotes but does not require it. Footnotes may be retained as they appear in the scanned copy.

Bookshare advocates the retention of superscripts where possible, but in cases where your scanner pushes them onto the line above or omits them entirely, please drop superscripts into the text line. This can be done through a global drop. For more instructions (will include a link to detailed global drop directions [in the volunteer manual, eventually])"

I am going to be repairing a baseball book already in the collection, currently rated as good. It has a lot of footnotes and looks like that was one of the reasons it is rated lower.
I have never done footnotes; can anyone give me a quick primer?

Thanks!
