Hi,
I had actually not tried that , thanks for the info! From what I have seen,
the only thing I can think of for relevance, is how often the term you use is
mentioned in the text:).

Take note that if you go to the main page of Bookshare and click the search
button without entering anything in the search field you will get a very large
list of books. The number is less than the total number as stated on the main
page. I am not sure what is missing, but it is still well over 200 thousand.
The sort order is by relevance, whatever that means. I never have figured out
how a search engine determines relevance, but I never trust a search engine's
idea of relevance to be the same as my idea of relevance. There will be a sort
order combo box just before the list, though, and if you change it to date
added it will give you a list of books starting with the very most recently
added books to, on the last page, the very first books that were ever added to
Bookshare.

Your assumption is right. All books are included.

Hi All,
Just curious about something. I am assuming the answer to this is
yes. The new books section under browse contains all new books, correct? In
other words, it includes both new novels/non-fiction, and new text books. The
reason I ask is that I was noticing primarily non-text book types of books so
was just curious.
I have to say that as a relatively new subscriber, I have been
incredibly impressed with the amount of new books that come in in just one day
and the amazing selection of books, even some that can be a bit hard to find
and are not currently on NLS, LearningAlly or Audible.
Hope everyone here has a fabulous and very relaxing weekend!
