Hi Rick, What is it about validating that is confusing you? I couldn't tell from your message. Do you need the validation instructions? If so, I can send them to you. If you already have them, the best thing to do is read through them and then, if you've been signed up as a volunteer, log in and find the step 1, download link. From there you can pick a book you would like to validate, and if you have questions as you work on it you can ask the list.
