Is there a way for bookshare to refuse scans with the following characteristics? The books would be refused the same way books minus page breaks or in .txt format are now refused.


""raw scans" defined as scans where the scanner did not press on book evenly enough for scanner to read all words. Book is characterized by truncated lines where words tend to be missing at the binding or edge of the book.

I want a way of stopping such "raw scans" from even reaching step 1. I know this sounds a bit drastic to some. I love books as much as anyone. I grew up not owning books. I know how precious they are. I know a job worth doing is worth doing well. "raw scans" are not a good job. I might wear a old teashirt around the house. I do not confuse it with "excellent" nice clothing. Let's make the bookshare collection a well crafted effort.
