It is Bookshare's policy to retain title pages and titles of chapters and
stories on the first page of the chapter or story, but I am not sure those
count as page headers.

Hi, Roger, I thank you for the explanation. I suppose I'd want occasional
headers at the first page of text letting me know I've finished reading the
prefatory
material and am now reading the book proper. I'd prefer to see headers if
the header contains the name of the story I'm reading, especially if I'm
reading
an anthology, but only on the first page of every story, otherwise, it
would be a pain to deal with. Regards, Kim.

The page header is usually the title of the book alternating with the name
of the chapter or story if it is an anthology. If the chapters are not named
or if it is not an anthology the name of the author is usually used. Note
that I said usually. In point of fact the page header can be anything the
publisher
wants to put there or there might not even be a page header. I think they
were probably originated as a quick reference to remind the reader of what
book
he or she was on and what part of the book it was in case that reminder was
needed. I think it has also come to be considered esthetically pleasing to
the eye. For the sighted reader they are easy to ignore and one might not
be even conscious of their presence. To someone who must read every line,
though,
by synthetic voice or Braille, they can be distracting. They are just one
of those print conventions that do not translate well into accessible
formats.
As I said, certain page headers still do have a use, but even then they are
still a bit distracting.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a header the title of a book?
For example, in Braille books, I was accustomed to reading the title of the
book on every odd numbered page. Now one sees the book title on the
prefatory page where one gets the bibliographic information of the book and on
the
first page of text, I.e., where the story or document begins. I don't know
what print books are like, but do you have the Book title on only the odd
numbered
pages or on all pages? I was pretty much able to ignore the book title on
the various pages, though it tends to interrupt the reading just a bit
because
you have to skip the title line. Regards, Kim.

Valerie, we are supposed to delete them, but be careful to leave the page
number.
As a sighted person, do you pay attention to them? I never do. smile. Maybe
if I were reading a book of short stories I'd use them to find a particular
story, but otherwise I just ignore them, I think those members who listen
to books don't have that opportunity if the headers are present. I don't
know
how they affect Braille readers.

Dear Bud;
I just noticed that you also are a ham radio operator. I am also in my call
sign is: N0HSJ
<br>I have a question probably as much for the list as for you, and that
was
talking about all headers have been deleted. Do you mean at the top of the
page were sometimes it has the title and/or the name of the chapter? I have
not been deleting these, as I think they provide visual cues for sighted
readers, but if I should be deleting them, I will start with my next book.
Or, is it okay to do it whichever way and just make a note in the
submissions?
Thanks as always for everyone's help!
Valerie
