Hi John!
I imagine you used the first search box you came to, where you can enter
title, author or ISBN and hit the search button. That will give you
zillions of books in your search.
For example, I searched for Martha Grimes. It said I got in my search
Showing 1 through 25 of 2,697 results
The advanced search is wonderful.
I kit the advanced search link, which is just below the first search box.
Then, once the page comes up, arrow down a little until you get to the edit
boxes for title, author, ISBN, publisher full text, and, then, if you want
to get very specific, you can check the appropriate check box for the
category of the book. Those checkboxes are just below the edit boxes I
just mentioned.
After I hit the advanced link, I entered Martha Grimes in the author edit
box, and I got 13 results, which were all her books.
I hope this helps you or anyone who comes along who needs it.
Debby

Are the staff doing anything to make the search feature of Bookshare
usable. For example when I search for a specific author it shouldn't come
up with 1500 books. I should be able to search by type of book as well.
