I've tried asking this several times and am not sure if I'm just missing the
answer in the volume of mail or if it hasn't been answered... I often have
books kicked back to step 1 with the message, "please verify the author" (or
editor or copyright holder). I am unsure why this is necessary since this
information matches in the submission information and in what appears in the
scan. Is this some kind of new requirement we're supposed to do in the
validation process, going to the Library of Congress and searching for this
info? I have looked all over the Bookshare iste for the validation
instructions to try and find this out for myself, and I'm not finding those
either. I would really appreciate an answer to this. I enjoy validating, but
not when I have to waste a lot of time verifying information that is in
plain site. I could understand it if the information in the submission and
the scan did not match; but it does seem like the validation process is
becoming more and more arduous. It's very discouraging to spend a long time
reading through a book, correcting errors that don't go through the spell
checker, etc, only to have it show back up on the step 1 page because I
didn't know I was supposed to go look on the LOC page for info that's
already there.
