Firstly, Bookshare does not "prevent" a bolunteer from resubmitting a book after the requested corrections are made. According to your original message, you were encouraged to resubmit the book after addressing the reasons for the book being rejected. You would hardly be encouraged to resubmit the book if Bookshare prevented volunteers from resubmitting.
Secondly, as I mentioned before, you resubmit a book in exactly the same way you submitted it the first time, so no explanation is needed, which is why there is none in the letter you received. Did you try resubmitting the book in the same way you submitted the original? If so, what happened?

Dear Cindy, Thanks for checking. The actual title is "Raw Food Made Easy." "Food" has no "s" in the title. Why does Bookshare prevent the volunteer who uploaded the book originally from re-uploading a corrected version after it has been rejected? Also, why does bookshare not explain how to re-upload the book in the e-mail it sends when a book is rejected? Neither Scott nor Allison have explained this.

Maybe Carrie can help--or our new volunteer liaison (sp?) I'll copy both of them.

If your book is not already in the collection, then when you made the corrections that were requested, you would resubmit it in the same manner as you submitted it the first time, without the BSO code in the title. So in either case, there would be no duplicate book. Since your book was rejected based on theissuesyou mentioned, it is safe to assume that there is no copy in thecollection,or your book would have been rejected on that basis. So once you are satisfied that you've done the corrections, just submit the bookexactly asyou did before.

I have been a member of Bookshare shortly after it got started and submitted some of my book scans then. I stopped submitting books a couple years later. I recently began submitting the books I have scanned for myself over the years and discovered things seemed to have changed significantly with much higher expectations of the scanned books. I appreciate greatly this emphasis on creating a quality experience for Bookshare readers. Folks recognize that for information to be useful it needs to be complete and accurate. I have been reading many Bookshare books lately and am much pleased to find consistent accuracy and quality of the accessible text. I have withdrawn my support from Learning Ally because of the organization's inattentiveness to quality; the vast bulk of amateur podcasts have higher production standards than their books. I recently received a message saying a book I submitted was rejected. I was asked to correct garbage text and format tables properly. I also changed many fractions from using the letter l to the number one. This is a cookbook. The e-mail encouraged me to resubmit the book when the issues were corrected. However, it didn't say how to do this. Please help me know what to do in this situation. When I went to upload the book again, there was a warning saying that duplicate books should not be submitted. Yet, there is a code for a better-scanned copy. Unfortunately, I cannot claim I scanned this book again. It is a corrected copy. The parts with colored text would likely yield the same garbage characters if scanned again. It seems silly that Bookshare only wants re-scanned books rather than corrected books. If a book has many fewer errors than before, why is it important for Bookshare on how this higher quality performance was achieved? I replied to the message, which came from support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, with some questions and attached the corrected copy of the book. I also sent the message to volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx as instructed in the message. I have not heard back and I am not sure what to do about this book or when other books might be rejected in the future. Please provide support and advice. Also, I am currently using OpenBook 6 to scan books. Do folks believe this version produces inferior scanning results for today'sBookshareexpectations compared to the current shipping version of this product?
