[bksvol-discuss] synopses fields

This is interesting.  Does anyone know where the information is taken from?  
When I submitted And Only To Deceive, the synopses looked fine, they just 
weren’t what I had written.  It was kind of a strange surprise.  Then, when I 
submitted the second book, I decided that if Bookshare was automatically 
filling in those fields, there was no point in trying to scan the book jacket.  
And of course, in that case, the synopses fields weren’t filled in!

 

From my perspective, it’d just be nice to know whether that’s something you 
need to add or not, before you submit the book.  I don’t mind scanning the book 
jacket, but it’s often hard and produces scans that need some clean-up, so I 
don’t want to mess with it if there’s no need to do so.

The problem that I had with my last submission which is quite common was that 
both the short and long synopses were exactly the same. In my opinion it's not 
fair to the future reader; therefore I create a long synopsis.

If the synopsis is already filled in you do not have to write another one. You 
can if you want to though. You may delete the already filled in synopsis and 
write your own or you may modify the prefilled synopsis. To hold a book type 
the words hold for name of person right before the title.

Hi all, 

Having just submitted a book, I have some more questions 

1.        When the book was submitted, I noticed that the synopses were not 
what I had written, or rather that what I wrote had been tacked onto the end
of other text.  Do we still need to fill in the long and short synopsis fields?

Second, How do we indicate to Bookshare that a book should be held for someone?

Thanks,

Donna
