Hi Tomoko,
When you upload a book after validation, you do have the option to
reject the book yourself. That is one of the functions of a validator, to
check whether a book already exists in the bookshare collection, and to
compare any already available copy and the newly scanned copy to determine
which is the better scan. If the book already in the Bookshare collection
is indeed a better copy, you can reject the newly scanned book as a
validator.
Here is how you do that. When you are on your step 2 page, looking
at the list of books which you have out for validation, you have the choice
to upload, or to release any given book. This is sort of misleading, okay,
really misleading in the case of rejecting a book. To reject a book, you
need to choose the "upload" button. Once you have done that, you are then
given the option to either accept or to reject the book in question. At
this point you can reject the newly scanned book.
I do not remember this next part for sure, but I do think that at some point
during this process you are given the option to supply reasons that you
chose for rejecting a book.
Hope that helps some.
I'm just curious. My memory is not what it should be. Is this information
not included in the volunteer manual? If it isn't, I think that it should
be.
Good luck from here on out!
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Where I put my comment?
Below is my replying E-mail which I sent Bookshare collection development
person. I hope you think about this problem. Thanks.
Hello,
Thank you for quick response. I understood what you said about the second
book, you rejected. However the first book, you rejected,
(#49916) of Law/Society: Origins Interactions and Change by John R Sutton,
was a problem for me. This was in the waiting list for a long time until I
downloaded. I remembered some validators had released the book before me. I
simply thought they didn't want to validate such a difficult subject, so I
took it. Not checking the collection list was my fault. However, if I had
known this book in the collection list, how could I have removed the book or
told other volunteer validators in order to not make the same mistake? The
validators cannot write comment when we release the book. Therefore, I think
checking the waiting list and removing the book which already Bookshare has,
is your job.
Thank you for reading my comment.
Tomoko
