Wow, so much useful information has been added to the scanning and proofing manual in the last several months! Not only are you standardizing many areas that have been uncertain, but it is being done in a way to make the processing software put more navigation information in. I like it (mostly). The problem is going back and reading it all. Maybe I will have to read it all while I am recovering from my surgery.

As a general rule it is very helpful to start all threads on questions like these that are included in the Scanning and Proofreading Volunteer Manual with a link to the quote in the manual. It helps quickly orient new volunteers to the content of the manual Looking it up before answering allows seasoned volunteers to double-check that policy has not changed since they learned to scan or proof Discussions here that include specific examples of problems with finding content in the manual, navigating the document, or difficulties with the accuracy or clarity of content allow for changes to be made very rapidly. In the case of image descriptions the manual reference is: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/4.8+Y.+Format+for+image+description+t ags https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/4.8+Z.+Image+description+guidelines+f or+textbooks On 4/26/11 5:23 PM, "Charisma"<wishfulfish@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Melissa, We are allowed to insert photo descrips?
