Hi Jackie,

That worked perfectly. I got 86 hits when I followed your instructions and limited the search to sound recordings.

Thanks a lot.

Evan

Evan:

a) go to the voyager search page--this won't work in any other;
b) in the search box, type in "distributed month year", where,
obviously, month & year are replaced by the full, unabbreviated month
& the year is a 4-digit year. Please also note the quotes--they are
important & this won't work without them;
c) Tab to your 2nd box to put in any limits, e.g., web braille;
d) Tab to the 3rd box & choose command keyword--note that simply
keyword is the default here so u need to specify this every time;
e) Optionally, tab to the next box to specify number of records per page;
f) Tab to the begin search button & activate.

HTH.

I read here something from Rick Roderick about how to find recent books in the NLS catalog by typing something like January Distribution, or presumably
some other month, to find books recently shipped to the libraries. But I
don't recall where you're supposed to type that. I tried february
distribution, first as a key word in the Quick Search section, and then I tried match all key words and command words in the Voyager search. I didn't
get anything in the Quick Search portion. The only thing I got in the
Voyager Search was a listing for a poetry book that was still in process. I
don't think I did things right.

If you see this, Rick, or if anyone else knows how that works, could you
send over the details. I would like to try it.

Thanks a lot.

Evan
