Thank you Gerald and Cindy. It worked.
For the first time I could check copy right info.
Gerald, I would like to post this tip on Jake's site if you don't mind. I
believe that this might help others with using the sight with Jaws.
Now I have another issue, The book I checked on is a collection of short
stories. Flower Girls by various authors. loc.gov shows me each story
separately. With the author being the claimant. I assume claimant means
copyright holder.
Now on the submission form do I just put all the authors?
It appears to me that that's the right thing to do. Any comments? I can also
include the link on the comments field for Gustavo to verify.
Thanks.

Grace,
Here's the link to the page where you want to start.
http://www.copyright.gov/records/cohm.html
You'll find a set of radio buttons on this page which will specify whether
you're searching for author, title, claimant, etc. Using JAWS, which is what I
believe you're using if I remember correctly, hit F or R to find the next radio
button.
Once you specify what you're searching for, you can hit E to find the field
where you enter your search string. Remember to drop the initial article from
your search string, like the instruction next to the radio button for title
says, if you're searching for the book's title.
Hitting enter will then take you to another page where you narrow down your
search.
Hitting X will move you through the search items until you can find what
you're looking for since each item is associated with a checkbox. This should
probably be a list of authors or titles.
Once you find the item (or items) which you're looking for, check that box
and hit B to move down to the Submit button and press it.
This will normally take you to still another page where you'll want to narrow
your search down one more time. The first page would normally narrow the
search to the author or title you're looking for while the second will narrow
it to the book you're looking for. Occasionally you'll find that the database
only contains a single record for your search and this page will be skipped.
Again, check the appropriate box, but this time you'll want to hit Shift-B to
find the Submit button since it's above the checkboxes. Pressing it will take
you to the final page where you can see the info you want.
Once you are on the page with the book's copyright info, hitting T should
take you to the beginning of the info. The date you're looking for will be the
one associated with the publication date. It's also usually found next to the
publisher's name.
HTH
Gerald

Hi:
I have tried to use the loc.gov/copyright and found it confusing. Is there
specific steps that need to be taken? I put the title on the search bar and
basically got nothing useful. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
