Hi Terra,If you need some validation experience, and would like to try a short book that has been prevalidated by the submitter, I suggest the following:
First Meet (The Gymnasts #2) Elizabeth LevyI submitted this book, and can assure you that all pages are present, all copyright information is present and legible, all chapter headings and page numbers have been protected, and the book has been read cover to cover, and proofread and scannos corrected. All that you will need to do is varify that all I've written above is the case. This book will give you a good idea, I think, of what a well validated book should look like, and give you experience dealing with all of the forms and steps involved in the validation process.
The book is a young adult novel, and may not interest you. If that is the case, well, just let it pass you by, and work with something more to your liking. I think that others on the list will vouch for my saying that you can trust that my scans shouldn't give you any huge problems. My e-mail address is available, if you need any clarification about anything in the book.
Good luck, and don't get too discouraged. We've all been where you are.
And, go ahead and just release the book that you have. Someone else with access to the BookShare collection can check it out and see if a BSO copy is needed.
Happy Validating! Peace, Mayrie At 01:47 PM 9/13/2007, you wrote:
Hi, no it did not have BSO at the beginning, and I'm not yet a subscriber, so I can't download the on that is already on bookshare. email and MSN: tlsyslo@xxxxxxxxx skype: tlsyslo -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Mayrie ReNae Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 3:07 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: a book Hi Terra! When you downloaded the book from the step 1 page, did it have BSO at the beginning of the title, indicating that it was submitted as a better scan of the book in the collection? If so, then the answer to your question is definitely no, do not reject the book. If the book did not have BSO in the title field, you can either reject the book or download the copy that is in the collection and compare its quality to that of the book that you just downloaded from the step 1 page. If the quality of the book that you downloaded from the step 1 page is better, you might want to validate the book, and when returning the book for final approval, amend the title field of the submission form by adding BSO at the beginning of the title to let the BookShare staff know that you are offering an improved copy of the book already in the collection. Those are your options as I see them.
