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.

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. _ _ _ "I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world." - Richard Dawkins Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/rogerbailey81 The Militant: http://www.themilitant.com Pathfinder Press: http://www.pathfinderpress.com Granma International: http://www.granma.cu/ingles/index.html----- Original Message ----- From: "eden kizer" <eden420@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2011 8:45 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: curious about Latest booksWhat 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 IthinkI found somewhere that they had availability for people withdisabilitycould get donwloloaded versions of over a million books and not justonesout of copyright date. Is this true or not, and if so how does itwork asI saw only classics in a quick browse. Any info on this isappreciated,but you may please write privately so as not to clutter list. Thankyou.I am always looking for new sources of material because even though Bookshare has a wonderful selection, I like to find more obscure tingssometimes.
