Hi Ann,
We recently had a discussion about making sure titles contain the series
name. That's been Bookshare's position for a long time now, but it wasn't
always the case so you'll probably find books that don't follow the rule.
It's mentioned in the Volunteer Manual section 3.2.1:
If the book is part of a series of books, please add the series number to
the title. For example, "The Hidden (Animorphs #39)" or "Dark Force Rising
(Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy Vol. 2)".
As for filenames, we don't discuss them much in the manual because the
Bookshare system renames all files to something it believes that is
appropriate. Since the Bookshare software is built around linux, end users
should find no problems with the default names.
Best regards,
Jake

Hi all,
RE series books, if the book title could start with a number and then the
series name and finally the title, that would be wonderful! It would make
looking for series material so much easier. something like
01_The-Belgariad_The_Pawnof_Prophecy would do the trick. Maybe that
should be something added to the volunteer manual? For example, a little
section on file naming conventions which would include things like not
using spaces in your filenames, (spaces can be used but tend to confuse
older operating systems and Linux) making sure to number books in a
series, and so on. This would add to the efficacy of the manual.
