Hello,
I'm scanning a book for the first time for bookshare. I checked the lists of what is being scanned and on the wish list. When I tried to open the attachment of publishers and other sources my computer would not respond. Is there something else I need to do to let someone know what book I'm scanning or does the book just go into the system when I submit it? Also I read the scanning mannual but was unclear as to whether I needed to take off headers or whether the tool strips them when I submit the book, thank you.

Jill,

Thank you. Glad to be of value.

Everyone should also be aware that my technical knowledge on all matters related to scanning and proofing is very minimal.

I will continue to be primarily a lurking presence interjecting when i can clarify. This leaves the responsibility on each person in the list community to build up their knowledge and share it on-list or in private emails and IMs. It also leaves me freer to work on the systems and learning resourcres at this end that make mastering these skills easier

Scott, Thank you so much for your very prompt response. It is exactly this
type of direction that those of us on the bksvol list value. Jill
