Did you guys get this? -----Original Message----- From: Marissa Mika on behalf of Marissa Mika Sent: Fri 12/10/2004 12:56 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Subject: Admin Recap of Page Breaks and Approval Bounce Back Hi Folks, So I've been following the threads and there have been a lot of good points made. I'm going to speak to a couple of things and try to bring you up to speed on what's going on from our end. 1. First of all, the posting that started this whole rant fest was not even related to page breaks and book acceptances. It was related to a misunderstanding about the history of several books and their validation. That is being worked through. 2. Don't worry about the page breaks of the files you're validating. Txt files are ok. RTF files are ok. Folder files are ok (well, ok, they don't exist but if they did. . .). If there is a problem with page breaks in the files you validate and approve, there is an automatically generated warning for us here at admin and we will contact you accordingly. 3. I'm going to work with engineers to compile information about page breaks and how to preserve them using different OCR programs. I use Abby FineReader 7.0 in house, and keeping page breaks is as simple as checking a box. If you would like to help me with this project, I would truly appreciate it. 4. For some of your older archived libraries, do not hesitate to submit them if you're worried about this issue. If you want to submit a test file, let me know and we'll figure out some way to make your content live. 5. There's been a discussion of just having books identified as not having page breaks in the comments section of a book when you download it. I'm going to discuss this with my operations team on Monday. 6. Thanks for moderating your tone on this discussion, at least somewhat. I'd like to remind all people on this listserve to maintain a degree of decorum and politeness. I'm not going to single anyone out here, but please, exercise your good judgement when crafting your responses. Thanks, Marissa
