Basically, yes. Although you don't absolutely need the
print copy, it's helpful. Often, though, you can tell
from the context that a word is wrong and you can fix
it--or that a word is missing in a sentence and you
can fill it in.
There is a minimum number of things to do--check that
all the pages are there, remove headers, do a spell
check--but many of us read the books and make
corrections, since some things that are spelled
correctly are just incorrect in the context, like die
for the.
If you send Lisa Friendly the titles and authors, or
editions, of the books your son needs, she can perhaps
and hopefully get them scanned quickly and you can
download them for validation and, while you or your
son is validating, he can be reading them for class,
too.
I think on the volunteer home page is a volunteer
manual and one section explains about validating.
