Hi Paul,
I have a problem with our Overdrive service in Cork in that when I put a book
on the bookshelf by clicking the borrow link I cannot find how to get back to
the list of books that I was browsing. I therefore cannot accumulate more
than one book on the bookshelf. Any help?
Aedan.

Given some comments today, I thought I would contribute this post again.

.....

The keystrokes mentioned here apply to Jaws and NVDA but may well apply to
other screen readers.

To jump to the search field when at the top of the catalogue page, press e.

When the search results page is loaded, you will here the word 'error' 
as part of the page title if the search has returned no results.

Otherwise, press 3 to jump quickly to the search results heading.

Thereafter, press g to jump to each successive title in the search results
list.

To check out a book for borrowing, select the Borrow link for that title.
This adds the title to your Bookshelf.

At any time, you can go to your bookshelf to start downloading the titles.
Use the links list to find the Bookshelf link.

When on the bookshelf page, press 3 to jump to the Bookshelf heading below
which there will be a list of your requested titles.  Select the download
link for titles you want to download and then follow the prompts.

Hope this helps to bypass the screen clutter.

Paul
