Hi Pavi,
In the past, many of us have expressed the same desire that Tracy
has mentioned. I think a lot of us would like very much to be able to see
who the validator as well as the submitter of any given book in the
Bookshare collection was. Just letting you know that Tracy's request is not
the first, or the only one for this.
Have a good day.
Mayrie

Hi Tracy,
Thank you for writing in with that suggestion. You make a clear case and I
have forwarded it onto the relevant Bookshare staff for their feedback and
will be sure to let you know what the response is from this end.
Happy Tuesday!
Pavi

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] suggestion - show the validator
I would like to see the validator listed on books, along with the submitter.
First, I'm proud of my work, and have no objection to having my name
attached to it. People who want their names hidden could still be that old
Bookshare Volunteer.
Second, different validators do differing amounts of work on a book.
The
book I'm reading now is rated excellent, and mostly is, but it's obvious
whoever validated it didn't so much as bother to spellcheck. Though they
apparently stripped headers, which I do appreciate.
Anyway, seeing the validator name might give the experienced Booksharian an
idea of the quality that might be expected inside a book.
I've also often wondered if it would be helpful to display the percentage
that we see when we're asked to rate the book. You know, 99.76% accuracy,
which suggests excellent quality.
There is a wide variation in excellence.
Tracy
