I am using IE 11 and JAWS 16. If I go to My Bookshare first, everything is
working fine. If I don't, it doesn't.

I just tried logging into Bookshare using Internet Explorer 11 on my
Windows 7 PC. I always check the "remember me" checkbox so that I don't
have to keep logging in every time I load the site.
the performance is the same. When I first go to the site and perform a
search I am not taken to a page of results but am instead taken back to
the main Bookshare site. Subsequent searches work properly if I stay on
the site.
If I go to My Bookshare, the first attempt does not work but subsequent
attempts work properly. Would other users who have some extra time mind
verifying whether they are seeing similar results?
