I haven't finished all the posts but the misspelled
title gives me an idea. Because those of you who are
blind and rely on what your ears tell you may easily
misspell a title or author's name, may I suggest that
you check on amazon or B&N, which seem to suggest
other spellings and when you find the book just copy
it and paste it into the bookshare search? I know
that's an extra step, but it might help find the book
more quickly in the long run. I do the opposite: when
I want to find out what genre a book is so know where
to add it on the Wish List, or I suspect that maybe
the title or author is misspelled, I copy the title
that's posted and paste it into the search on A or
B&N. One reason I've missed some books that have been
added to the collection that I should have deleted
from the Wish List or the being-scanned list is that
when I searched on the latter using the titles on the
New Books added list I couldn't find them because of
misspellings.
Which gives me a good opportunity to thank those of
you who notice something still on a list that should
have been deleted and tell me. A big thank you! to
paraphrase Hillary Clinton, It takes a community to
keep those lists accurate and up-to-date. smile

Huh, wonder how I missed that. Thank you Carrie and
Lorie for that, smile. I will go download it and
take my hold off at the Library. I think I need to
refresh my skills on searching, smile.

Library Cat
This book is a best seller, so I was wondering if
Bookshare is processing it. If not I will, as I do
have a hold on it cause I wanted to read it, but
will cancel it if Bookshare is going to process this
as a NY Times.

World
