[bksvol-discuss] Re: validated books returned to download page

Hi Guys, 

Each validator gets seven days to validate a book and recommend it for approval 
or rejection. After that, the original copy gets bounced back to the validation 
cue and you do get an automated message saying that your Bookshare session has 
expired. 

Remember you have two options when you go to the upload page; you can release 
or upload the book. Be sure to upload it rather than release it if you want 
credit for your validaiton! 

Thanks,
Marissa

Reggie,
Sorry, that was me snagging your books.  I didn't connect your name with
your email.  I took In the Name of Honor and House at Pooh Corner.
There were no admin comments on them, only the ubiquitous "return new".
What does that mean, anyway?  
Since they had been there a few days, I figured you had given up on them.
Are you sure you're not making some mistake when you're uploading your
validated books?
Guess I better check that they're not back again.
Tracy

quit, quit, quit!!! I work hard and only have at night and some weekends to
do this stuff.  The least that Bookshare could do is send me a notice that
the book is not good enough and that I should work on it longer and
re-upload.  As you can tell I am really angry, angry, angry!!! We do not get
as validators the same amount, although we work sometimes harder than the
people who scan.  We need all the money we can make to make the scans
better.  Now, before I break my keyboard in total, total anger, I will
depart.  If I am not doing a good job then I will not be back on this list
and I will not be re-joining BKS! I am currently fixing a fair book so if it
will be returned to the list when I am finished could someone please let me
know so I do not, not continue to work hard on this!!! Thanks.
