That is the reason that, except for the fact that recent additions would not be included, I prefer to use Google advanced search to search Bookshare. However, that problem of not finding the most recent additions is a really serious drawback for most of the reasons I want to search the Bookshare collection.

It's interesting you could get hits on Janis Newman but not on Janis Cooke. You'd think the first and middle names would be right next to each other and produce results and not the other way around, that a first and last name without the middle name would work. Who knows. I remember when I first began volunteering I could put in one word of the author's name and one word of the book title and find the book. I don't think that has worked for a long, long time. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: False Impression by Jeffrey Archer See everything I've read this year at: www.michrxtech.com/books.html ************** An Excellent Credit Score is 750.
