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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lora" <loravara@xxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
