This is true. Claire just fixed a textbook that had been rated as adult content for me today. It is up to us to report any mistakes. The Bookshare staff does the very best they can.

Books sometimes get mismarked Adult. It's up to the validator, in the final analysis, to determine the rating, I think, since he/she is the last person to check (and hopefully read) the book. But if anyone questions the rating, he/she can write to Carrie or Claire and ask them to check it out and change the rating, as Allison just did. For some unknown reason, a while ago some children's picture books were inexplicably rated Adult. G.Cindy --- kelby carlson <kelbycarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:See, this is not my problem. I don't WANT to read books that are truly adult in nature. My problem is that books like Slander, which are in no way adult, are being marked adult. Everyone has consistently failed to address this problem. Kelby Doomed Dragon Q: What is the sound of one hand clapping? A: It is the universe exploding.

Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
