No, you can't search Bookshare for publisher. I was trying to point out
that that shortcoming of Bookshare can be circumvented by using Google and it
is not hard to do. Just go to Google.com. There is a field there to type in
your search terms to search the entire web. Ignore that. Instead, look for a
link on that page labeled advanced search. Click that and you will be taken
to a form with various fields on it that can be filled in various ways to
refine your search. In your case, fill in the word Harlequin or Harlequin
Books or however it is usually worded on Bookshare in the main field. Then move
down the form until you come to the field labeled web site or domain and
fill in the term Bookshare.org. Then just click the advanced search button and
the results returned should be all from the Bookshare site. It is likely to
not contain the most recent additions because it will have been updated only
the last time Google's spider crawled through Bookshare, but it is a good
substitute for a function that Bookshare lacks.

I didn't know I could search Bookshare by Publisher as I love Harlequin
Books ; can someone tell me how to do this? It would be so great! I'm not a
computer
person and have no idea how to do an advance Google search and confine the
search to Bookshare.org. Thanks so much for any help you can give.

Okay, now I see where I made my mistake. As I said, I did an advanced
Google search in which I entered the name of a publisher as the search term and
confined
the search to Bookshare.org and I was doubtful of my results. The reason I
was doubtful was because I intended to search a publisher that was providing
publisher quality books and I only got thirty-nine hits. Now I will reveal
which publisher it was. It was Harper & Row. Apparently I was confusing
Harper
& Row with Harper Collins. Now that I see that Harper Collins is on this
list and Harper & Row is not I repeated the search with Harper Collins as my
search
term. This time I got 337 hits. I am not sure how useful that information
is now with the list of publishers that are supplying books right here, but
bear
in mind that you can use the advanced search at Google to search not only
for publishers, but also for anything else on Bookshare that the Bookshare
search
engine is not capable of.
