There has always been a genre search for as long as the online catalogue has been running. I have asked that the text on the search page be amended so that it is clear that a genre search can be made and have been assured that this will happen.

Thanks for your instructions. It works. No thanks to the unhelpful response I had from the RNIB. Have a looksey. You cannot search by Genre at present, but you can put in an author's Surname and the list will come up of how many books,etc. Thank you -----Original Message----- From: Barry Toner [mailto:barry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 11 July 2006 14:30 To: Mailbox, CServices Subject: Re: Talking Book Service Application Thank you *** for your prompt reply. Please could you tell me if it is possible to browse the Online Book Catalogue by genre or view an author list? I am so far only able to run various searches using varibles such as authors name and title...
