So a 3rd party helped they would go into the project knowing they are just a
help meat for the real team with nothing in mind for that particular book but
to get it added to the library and isn't that the main thing getting a book
added.
I think people ought to think more as in team work and the larger good of all,
so many folks want their names up in lights so to speak the look what I did
thing, when there ought to be just hey bookshare is getting books up so that
others can read, we should always have others in mind never ourselves, no man
is an island and if it takes a 3rd party who cares when your book is up isn't
that the main thing the seeing the down the road results, are far more rewards
than that temporary look what I did
your ultimate goal is to get a book up for someone to read besides yourselves
ourselves, I first came on board thinking there are loads of books I have read
that I know someone else would enjoy. Knowing that I couldn't be instrumental
in actually getting those books put up was disappointing to be sure, but I
never stop being thrilled when I do see those very same books go up, because I
say wow they'll get to read them anyhow in spite of me and I am glad, because
that was my hoped goal in the first place.
If you never know my name and I'm never a part of a an actual book going up,
if that book goes up anyhow that is reward enough for me, if I can help
bookshare what I can hord out for myself ain't why I'm supposed to be here and
if it is, I'd better check my own motives and get it straight in me. So a
person or a team has to have a bit of help so what! somebody's wanted and
needed and believe me you don't want to be Gwen you'd rather be wanted and
needed even if you were a 3rd party, getting that book in the library is the
main goal it matters not how or who did it seeing somebody getting to read or
learning to read is though.

Kim, my solution would work anyway. A third party could scan the missing
pages and submit them with a hold for the proofreader. The point isn't who
could scan the pages. The point is that the pages would be uploaded legally by
whoever scans them.

Well, what if your submitter no longer has a copy of the book so pages can be
re-scanned? The submitter of the file I was working with no longer had the book
and couldn't re-scan anything. I think I like your solution if the submitter
retains the book, but what if it (the book) is a library book and he/she can't
get it? Then that poses a problem for everyone. Regards, Kim.
