This catalogue is essentially Revealweb under a misleading name. In order to
find out more about the book you have found - formats, book source etc - you
need to press ENTER on the book link. In the case of the book you are
interested in, you will find it is available in Braille in 6 volumes from
RNIB Library Service Stockport. I haven't used this as a means of sending
requests, but it seems you need to add the book to a list which you then
show and then send. It should be noted that this catalogue despite its name
shows books from other than RNIB sources.

Subject: [access-uk] Revealweb/RNIB library catalogue question
Hi,
I just went to the revealweb site and it redirected me to the RNIB
library catalogue site. I haven't been to revealweb for ages and
didn't realise this would happen. The RNIB library site says it
incorporates revealweb.
I found a book I want to read on there but I'm not sure what to do
next. My understanding was that revealweb searched several sources
for books and, not having tried to order a book from there before, I
had assumed it would give info on the format of the book and where
it's held/where to get hold of it. But the record found for the book
I want doesn't give any info about format or how to order the book.
There are links to add the book to a request list and to send the
request list but a) I need to know whether it's audio or braille
before I request it and b) I'm not sure if I need to join something
before I can request a book. I'm a member of RNIB Talking Books but
presumably this is different? It's hard to know since it doesn't say
where this book comes from.
Can anyone shed any light/explain how this site/library works? If it
makes any difference the book I searched for is called "The Clash Of
Fundamentalisms".
Thanks,
Catherine
