Those of you finding your search choices being too narrow should tell
Bookshare that they need to bring back category browsing through the API and
other search choices.  Levelstar and APH are limited in what they can
accomplish.

Hello,
The problem' as you describe it' is why I am having trouble. I too find the 
choice for  searching  between title and author to be too narrow. I went 
through the web browser to search the N Y Times list. I had the files placed
on 
the hard drive, library, imports. The B P attempted to open them, but, I 
received an error message.
If anyone has an answer for this problem, please let me know.

make it a great one

Sharon F.
