[LM_NET] Tech: Lexile clarification

[Bev Nelson <bev.nelson@SPRINGGROVE.K12.MN.US>]

Hello again - I need to clarify something with the LM_Net audience. 
I know that I can find lexile numbers through Baker and Taylor, 
Follett, and a variety of other places.  What I am asking is this: 
How can I evaluate a book to get a lexile number without going 
through 20 pages of scanning and uploading text into the analyzer? 
Is there a format to follow?  We already have the books lexiled that 
have been given numbers, it is only the titles that DO NOT have any 
lexile assigned to them through the publisher that I am concerned 
about.  I know that you can upload your collection to a variety of 
places and have THOSE BOOKS THAT HAVE LEXILES assigned affix the 
lexile number to your MARC record.  Again, I am only concerned with 
the books that have never been given a lexile.  Sorry I am confusing 
some of you and thanks to all who have taken the time to respond. 
Have a good day!
