Hello Soniya, Welcome to the list:-) I started here recently and there are a few tricks to learn. I will let the pro's answer some of your questions since I am still learning myself:-) Kaitlyn No one is given a dream without also being given the power to make it come true Kaitlyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Reconnective Healing energy Practitioner Level III Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the number of moments that take your breath away:) _____ From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of soniya patel Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 11:26 AM To: bookshare volunteer Subject: [bksvol-discuss] a few questions I'm sure a lot of these questions have already been asked. Since I've just signed up to be a volunteer, what are some things to look up when validating books? Any quick fin and replace? What are some quick things to do to check books? Obviously, I wouldn't read the whole book, so I thought I'd just get input on some quick steps or things to look for. Thanks. Soniya Patel
