That which does not make sense is that Bookshare mentions only that if there are errors in a book in the collection then it has been decided that a re scan must be done without mentioning that an easier fix may be available. With this revelation the stated Bookshare policy sounds misleading. In a message dated 9/27/2008 6:43:42 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: Actually there is no contradiction. There is the necessary step of having a staff member put the book in question onto step 1 in rtf format. What does not work because page breaks and numbers are lost is to download a brf or html copy and try to fix that copy up. Hope the explanation makes sense. E.
