Do they retain submitter comments? If so, I always make a note of picture
descriptions and whether full or limited (like pages with no text).

Shelley,
Yes, please list any books that you have added image descriptions to or if you
remember books with descriptions that you didn't do list those also. The
problem with this task is circular: We can't find books in the collection with
descriptions because we don't have the checkbox data yet to search on.

Hi Scott this is an exciting feature.
Do you want old ones with descriptions?
As some people described several of the kids books I did a while ago, smile,
I could get the list to you.

Volunteers,
One of Bookshare's engineers just met with Carrie & I to let us know that
as early as next week you will be able to indicate if you have included
image descriptions when you submit a book. It will be a separate
engineering step later for that information to be visible to members as
they search so right now we are just focusing on making sure we have a
complete list of our books with image descriptions.
Between now and November 29 please email me the titles of any books that
you have submitted with image descriptions. That way we can be certain we
mark them correctly in the collection. Once you see the checkbox asking if
a book has image descriptions feel free to use it.
