Laura,
I requested the changes you are talking about of the support staff months ago. I haven't heard of any progress on this yet but it is probably because they are too busy on more critical items. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lora" <loravara@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Yes, it does.  But I wanted to see what had been added recently, so I went
to the New Books page, which is where it doesn't let you do that. I guess I was thinking consistency would be a good idea. By adding the links for BRF 
and Daisy there, you could accommodate everyone; those who wanted to open
the page for the book before downloading, and those who didn't.

By the way, I believe if you use the simple search it does allow you to
download the daisy format directly from the search results.

Hi Sue,

I apologize; I assumed the Bookshare staff read this list.  Besides,
by putting the discussion here, I was thinking that people could offer
up comments.  And some have, already saying that they prefer to open
up the page in order to download the book.

I'll Email Bookshare directly.

Thanks.

Hi Lora,

No one on this list could do anything about this.  Why don't you write
to the bookshare staff?  <smile>

I know. I was asking for an enhancement,  to make it work like the
search results page, where you can click on the BRF or Daisy link
right from the search results page.

Hi Laura,
You have always had to click on the book title before downloading books.

Hi,

I went to check out the newest books from Bookshare, and download the
ones



I
wanted.  Basically, a morning to catch up on all the things I'd meant
to download but hadn't got around to.

I noticed a few things about the new books list.

1.  It doesn't display the download links for Daisy and BRF.  You
actually have to click on each book, and then download from the
book's page.
Could
this be changed?

2.  When a book has more than one author, this page behaves strangely.
For
instance, I'm on the second page of results, looking at
<http://www.bookshare.org/web/SingleTitle.html?submittitleid=46896>
Adult
Students: An Insider's Guide to Getting into College.  I hear the
title, and hit tab.  It tells me the first author's name, Jen Tanabe,
and I press tab again.  Instead of saying the second authors name,
Kelly Tanabe, it says By.
Not sure why it does this, but it's definitely odd.

Thanks.
