gentlepeople, while it is still a high priority to get engineering work to redo how the Bookshare.org website both handles books that get sent back to the validation queue and notify the last volunteer who worked on it, in the meantime here's a reminder of the top 5 reasons why any Bookshare.org administrator would send a book back to the Step 1 Validation Queue: One: Copyright information is unclear or incorrect. Most often, the submitter of the scanned book will just list the publisher. To comply with copyright requirements, Bookshare.org must have the correct copyright information as found in the scanned book. Two: Title is misspelled. Verify that the title is spelled correctly, and that the title is complete and matches what is reflected on the title page of the scanned book. Three: Author name is misspelled. Verify that the author's name (and name only at this time, no professional titles, associations, distinctions) is spelled correctly and matches what is reflected on the title page of the scanned book. Four: Brief or Long Synopsis needs to be spell-checked and read for reasonable accuracy. Correct spelling of any info entered into either synopsis field is important for comprehension by somebody who may be browsing our books. Please be sure to spell-check these two fieds. Make sure that the info contained in these two fields bares some resemblance to what the book is about. Five: Verify categories selected. All categories selected by a book's original submitter are subjective, and you are faced with the same subjectivity when validating the book. If both fiction and non-fiction are selected, i'm going to ask questions. If "Textbook" is selected, and the submitted book in question is not obviously a textbook, i'll ask that you give a little explanation for your rationale. When you have questions about books, please feel free to contact us. John Glass, our Customer Support Manager, is Bookshare.org's primary liaison with the volunteer community, support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx is his email. Of course, anybody else on the Bookshare.org staff is available for your email inquires as well. We always are grateful for your efforts, and appreciate your patience until we have sufficient engineering resources to improve this part of Bookshare.org's functionality which is long-overdue. Many thanks, gustavo galindo Bookshare.org Website Manager
