Hi Ann,
While I agree with you in spirit regarding "how it's done", in fact
Bookshare has very few actual requirements on what a book must have to
enter the collection. The volunteer manual, with few exceptions,
provides guidelines on what a book should have in terms of contents and
quality, and how it should be formatted, not requirements. smile.

Hi all,
Gary, the need for stars when there is a change of scene in a book is
not at issue here. This all started because instead of repeating that
volunteers should follow the manual, some people have been advocating
a laissez faire attitude which is detrimental, especially to new
volunteers and to the consistency of copy on Bookshare. They talk
about the preferred method instead of saying this is how it's done.
They talk about what you can do instead of what you should do. You
can't have laissez faire, you have a manual, it should be followed,
period!
BTW, please do not abbreviate Bookshare like that. As you can guess
it looks odd, especially to Americans. We all know we're talking
about Bookshare, if you need to specify, just say staff. I, for one,
find the abbreviation offensive.
