Hi, Jamie, Bookshare is weird because if you're conducting a simple search,
you have to enter the author's name first name first and last name last.
Example, if you wrote a book and it got into the Bookshare collection, I
couldn't enter your name as "Yates, Jamie", I'd have to search for your book
by entering "Jamie Yates". It seems that's the way Bookshare still does
things. I haven't had any difficulty conducting simple searches using this
method. Maybe what I'm saying is something you know already and you may have
tried this. I don't know. Now, of course, when you are browsing to see
what's in the collection, Authors' names are entered for the most part last
name first followed by the first name, etc. I don't know what the engineers
at Bookshare are going to do about that one. Good luck to you on this one,
regards, Kim.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Five Little Monkeys Bake a Birthday Cake
Earlier today I submitted Five Little Monkeys Bake a Birthday Cake by Eileen
Christelow. Before I submitted it I checked under Christelow for the
author's name and Five Little Monkeys and I could not find this title in the
collection.
I see the proofreader rejected it because it is already in the collection.
Can someone help me figure out what I am doing wrong with search (I am
having a horrible time lately with search) that I still cannot find this
book in the collection? I also searched on Birthday Cake and Eileen and I
still can't find the book.
