I think you can do that if you're registered as a volunteer, but not
otherwise. I haven't read all the stuff I got last night about all the
things volunteers can do and how to do them, but I'm pretty sure there's a
mechanism for updating and correcting book information
I know what you mean, though. It's a little irritating to read a title that
sounds interesting only to read down a little and find 'synopsis: none'. It
doesn't take that much effort to write something 250 characters or less
about a submitted book. Luckily, it seems that more recently submitted
books usually come with at least a short synopsis. Of the 100 books on the
New Books list at the moment, only four of them lack any synopsis.
Unfortunately for me, three of them are Science Fiction by authors whose
names I recognize. <smile>

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] missing synopsis on many books
Hi,
I have noticed that many of the books in Book Share are missing the synopsis. Has anyone thought of or done anything about find a synopsis for those books and updating it? Is there any provision for some of us submitting just a synopsis for those books?
Just wondering because it seems very easy to find a synopsis for some of the books I have used as tests and I thought we might could improve the quality of book info.
Thoughts, ideas?
