To find the books at Open Library that are not also at Gutenberg try adding the key words "protected Daisy" as well as "accessible book." Be sure to use the quotation marks again. To refine your search further just use other key words or click the refining tags at the bottom of each page of search results. It is those tags at the bottom of the page that I mean when I refer to user tags. When you find the catalog listing for any book click the edit tab and you can add or remove those tags. Let me also advise this. When you start to use any site always be sure to read all the FAQ and any other informational material that the site has available. That can really make any site easier to use and cut down on the number of questions you will have to ask other users.

Hi, Roger, I've managed to download a drama anthology from open library.
What I want to know are the books not at gutenberg.org. I did put
"accessible books" in quotation marks as you suggest. I got a lot of
stuff by Dickens, Shakespeare, etc. How does one find the other stuff?
Regards, Kim Friedman. P.S.: Your message was very helpful. K.

Do a key word search at Open Library for "accessible book." Be sure to
enclose the phrase in quotation marks to avoid picking up books that
just
happen to have those words in the catalog entry seperately. The results
will
be in the hundreds of thousands. It will include nearly everything
Gutenberg
has plus protected Daisy books that are still in copyright. Click the
title
of any of the results you are interested in and on the catalog page you
will
find a linkk to Daisy somewhere there. Click that and you will be on a
page
that tells you about Daisy and there will also be a link for downloading
the
book. Open Library is primarily a catalog and lists nearly twenty-five
million books if you count the various editions. The ones that can be
downloaded number in the hundreds of thousands though and there are some

very obscure ones.

What is openlibrary?  Does it just list books or does it have books
that
you can download?  If so, I have not found a way to do so although I
think
I found somewhere that they had availability for people with
disability
could get donwloloaded versions of over a million books and not just
ones
out of copyright date.  Is this true or not, and if so how does it
work as
I saw only classics in a quick browse.  Any info on this is
appreciated,
but you may please write privately so as not to clutter list.  Thank
you.
I am always looking for new sources of material because even though
Bookshare has a wonderful selection, I like to find more obscure tings

sometimes.  Thanks.
