Hi, I just got notice that Living by the Book by Hendricks and Hendricks is not up on the Bookshare site, but it has a subtitle which I guess the validator got off of Amizon. However, there is no subtitle in my print copy. It's obviously the same book: same title, same authors. So should the subtitle be dropped by some one at Bookshare, or what? Asked this here as I'm on my way out the door.

Only I'm not sure what kind of work would go into putting it up, so it may be a while in coming. I'm sure it is being worked on though. Until then, there are some things you can try that may help you out at finding books without a keyword search. I'll list a couple below for those who are interested. 1. Use your key words, separately, as a title search. For example, putting children or child in a search would come up with all the books with these words in their title. It will get you a relatively long list of books, and many of them won't be relevant, but some of them will be, and that will make it worth while. Another good title word to search for in Sharon's case would be teach or teaching, or learner. If you go with a simple word or half of it, the search results will be broader. For example, the word, child, would bring up all books with the word child, children, child's, childhood, etc. 2. When you find a book you like in a particular area, press enter on the book's title. That takes you to the download page for that book, rather than downloading it, read all the way down the page. If you go far enough down, past the long synopsis, past the ISBN, and past the copyright information, it lists the name of the submitter of that book. Sometimes it will just say a bookshare.org volunteer, and that won't help you out, but if it was submitted by a person who puts a name on their submissions, their name will be attached to a link. That link will take you to a page with a list of every book submitted by that individual. It's not full-proof, but chances are that, if you, for example, really enjoyed this individual's books about teaching, it's likely that that submitter may have similar interests to your own, and may have scanned other books along similar lines. 3. Every author has a link to other books by that author. If there is a book you like, you can enter on that author's link and find all the books Bookshare has by that author. And, that's all my tips. Sorry it was a long post, but I wanted to give all the steps for those who wanted them. Sure, a keyword search would be really nice, but until then there are a couple techniques to get around that and find some good books. Happy reading, and let me know if you have any other questions.
