I now have my second but still
keep submitting and
validating. Bookshare is a wonderful resource.

If I remember correctly, quite sometime ago Shelley
posted that she
submitted until she had enough credits to pay for
her first year's
subscription because she was a student and did not
have the money to pay for
a subscription. Is that right, Shelley, or is my
memory failing me? I do
not want to put words in your mouth. <smile>

I submitted a couple of books before paying my
membership fee. Perhaps you
should ask these people where they got the idea that
they couldn't. It just
didn't occur to me that I couldn't submit books
before paying. There's
absolutely nothing anywhere on the site that even
implies that you need to
pay before submitting, only downloading.
I submitted books that I knew weren't in the
collection. Since I didn't
know about the validation part at the time, I might
have been wasting my
time scanning books that were already out for
validation or in the admin
queue, but I apparently got lucky on that score.
Still, it would be good if
members and nonmembers wanting to submit something
could input a title and
get a message back telling them if the book is out
for validation, waiting
for administrator approval, or not in the system at
all.
