That's my point it shouldn't be that way.

If you use the Bookshare advanced search you have the ability to limit your
search to certain categories. Don't forget to look at the sort order feature
and other ways to refine your search. Unfortunately the categories you can
choose from are rather limited. If they do not address the subject you are
interested in it may be necessary to enter key words into the search field
and experiment around to see what you get. Or, you might want to search
another site where the categories more closely correspond to what you are
looking for and then come back to Bookshare and search for the specific
titles you found.
