Oh,sorry, no, I don't mean that webpage, that
one I can navigate just fine, I mean the digital talking book test site page.

Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic (RFB&D) and
Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB)
have withdrawn all cassettes from circulation. NLS plans
on removing records for RFB&D and CNIB cassette
books. In the meantime do not request cassette books from RFB&D or CNIB.

General Help
Search terms can be single words or phrases. Do
not omit words in a phrase. Use Lord of the
Rings, not Lord Rings. Try using shorter searches, if you are
getting no results. Use the question mark to truncate words.
Information on ordering books is available.
Examples of Author Searches
Use for searching authors, narrators, editors, etc. Examples:
list of 3 items
? Clark Mary Higgins (last name first, no comma necessary)
? Shakespeare (last name alone will work)
? Gian? in the author search field and narrator
in the keyword search field will retrieve books narrated by Laura Giannarelli.
list end
return to author
Examples of Title Searches
Use for searching titles, titles in contents
notes, and series titles. Examples:
list of 3 items
? wind in the willows (enter words in same order as in title)
? oz (retrieves Wizard of Oz, Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Ozma of Oz)
? star wars (retrieves series titles)
list end
return to title
Examples of Keyword Searches

subjects, notes, annotation, etc. Examples:
list of 3 items
? RC 15141 (retrieves by book number; spacing counts)
? web braille (retrieves web braille records)

Then there are the blind people who just don't
have the technical expertise to figure out the
nls site. As it stands right now, I find it very
hard to find a particular book since there are
no title and author edit fields.

I think we forget a population of the blindness
community when we have these discussions and
that is those with both blindness and hearing
loss. This can make it difficult if not
impossible to read audio books so bookshare is a
real need for this population. Also, those with
learning disabilities are another population we
need to take into account. So I say keep
scanning, it's better to have books available in many different formats.
