Whoa, Mayrie! <smile> I had an instance only yesterday where Carrie thought a page was missing. She returned the book to the download list with the new "hold for V/S" on it. I, the validator, already knew that the page in question was a blank page. Therefore, I was able to contact Carrie and tell her this. She, in turn, told me to download it and upload it again, and she would approve it. I had not indicated that the page was blank. Now, if that "hold for" had not been on it, a third party could have downloaded my edited copy. So there are instances where this method is advisable. Just a real-life experience for the flip side. <smile> Sue S.

Hi Everyone, I'm going to paste here a section from the latest volunteer newsletter with wich I am not very happy. from now on books will be returned to the download list with a "Hold for Validator or Submitter". Depending on the nature of the correction, and/or who is best able to make the correction, either the submitter or the validator will re-upload the book. If re-edits are uploaded by the submitter, either the submitter or the validator should write to us requesting that validation credits be transferred from the submitter to the appropriate validator. We will make the transfer accordingly. Uh, if a validator hasn't done a job complete enough for a book to be included in the bookshare collection, and the submitter makes corrections that a validator should have made, that validator should not get credit. The validator should have contacted the submitter either directly or via bookshare staff before uploading to fix things that need fixing. What's the deal with giving people credit for work not done? These are just my opinions, but as a submitter, I don't have any intention of fixing errors in a book that I submit if the validator is going to get credit for not having done the work.
