As I said to Tony, I was using the simple search and selected 'all' in the
material types field and came up with nothing in the web Braille format.
Then I selected Braille in the material types field and still got nothing.
Then I tried with less confidence the 'electronic resource' selection and
got nothing. I still feel that one or more - at least the 'all' selection
should have brought up the web braille title.
But that just isn't the way it works. I think it's bad design, but since I
didn't design it, nor am I in line to redesign it, I guess that's the way
I'll have to remember to use it in the future. It is interesting, because I
have seen titles - complete with links - for Braille titles under the 'all'
material types selection before, so it seemed reasonable to me that Jordan's
"New Spring" should show up there, but it didn't.
Thanks for the tip.
It might help to know that you write web braille in the field called key word. If you only give the author's name, the search will tell you about all the books by that author in all formats.

Hi,
You're probably using the wrong NLS search engine. You have to use the miltiple term search. You select Jordan Robert in the first field and select author. You put "web braille" in the second field and select note. You leave the third field blank and search. That is the only way of finding Web-Braille titles. Electronic resource won't work. I don't care about talking books so I can't help there but it's probably a similar procedure. Write off list if you still have problems and I can send you the url.
