Thanks, Sue, I won't forget. But I still feel that it's bad design, because
I often do a search to see whether a book is available without regard to
format. Except for large type, I don't particularly care what format it is
in, as long as it is accessible I will read it. That is why I think that
web braille books should come up in the 'all' material types selection. But
what I think doesn't especially matter. <smile>

In the simple search, Evan, I make it better if I put the author's name, then put Web Braille (it says to make it two words) in the keyword field.

As I said to Tony, I was using the simple search and selected 'all' in theI
material types field and came up with nothing in the web Braille format.
Then I selected Braille in the material types field and still got nothing.
Then I tried with less confidence the 'electronic resource' selection and
got nothing. I still feel that one or more - at least the 'all' selection
should have brought up the web braille title.
But that just isn't the way it works. I think it's bad design, but sincedidn't design it, nor am I in line to redesign it, I guess that's the wayI
I'll have to remember to use it in the future. It is interesting, becausehave seen titles - complete with links - for Braille titles under the'all'material types selection before, so it seemed reasonable to me thatJordan'sscan"New Spring" should show up there, but it didn't.
Thanks for the tip.
