I think there's a way to find those books.
I suspect that if you ask for new ones, it might give you the new
books right up until bookshare made the change.
That way I suspect you can search back.
You won't be ofending the staff or Cindy as far as I know.You'll
still have to log in and all that, and best of all, if people
find what they want, as far as I know, we're still on bookshare,
so nothing needs to be posted on the internet.
Go to
http://static.legacy.bookshare.orgThat's where I'm going for my
books.
I'm an MPower user.I hope this saves you a lot of work.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: Looking for old lists of new
books
Hi again,
I can now say that I have a bunch from Brenda from what appears
to be
August to October, but I haven't gotten them all in chronological
order
yet. I also saw a couple from the end of July. Now I'm thinking
that
maybe I should put them up on a special web site for others in my
position, specifically that they don't want to go to the
Bookshare site
but don't want to miss anything either. Now since the Bookshare
site is
acting weird and won't offer new books going back indefinitely,
it might
help to provide a reference for as far back as possible. I of
course
don't want to cause problems with the Bookshare staff and there
isn't
much point if such a site wouldn't be used. I've found a way to
get
Cindy's lists that she emails automatically posted with no work
on her
part so they would show up on the web site as soon as the email
is
received. Any thoughts? It would be a private site using
Wordpress, a
popular blogging package. It would also offer rss feeds and a
search
for people wanting to keep up that way, but no comments. It
wouldn't be
listed in general search engines, it would be intended for
Bookshare
users and volunteers. Obviously I don't want to upset Cindy or
the
staff. I understand there might be rights issues with posting
such
lists on other sites.
Again, Brenda gets a big thanks for sending me several lists that
I was
missing. Thank you Brenda!

Hi all,
Do any of you have old lists of new books added to
Bookshare dating
before November? I understand that the new site
allows searching for
the past three months, but from what I've read, that
doesn't always work
like it's supposed to. Also, I like Cindy's lists
because they seem to
have more detail than the standard Bookshare site
does. If you have
email from her from before November or if you happen
to have saved old
lists, that would be appreciated. Please send them
to
bookshare@xxxxxxxxxxxxx There is no size limit on
attachments so you
can send them that way if you want or I can provide
ftp upload
instructions. Thank you very much. The reason I'm
asking is that I
haven't been on Bookshare regularly since about June
or July and the new
site doesn't have the same advanced search as
before. It used to be
that I could leave the title and author empty and
the advanced search
would show me all new books going back to the
beginning. Now that
doesn't work, a title or author is required. As I
said, the new books
list on the site only goes back three months and
I've been gone longer
than that. I have a big backlog already and haven't
had time to look
since about the summer. Again, thanks for any help
in finding the old
lists.
