Hi mairead,

have you tried googling for any of the book titles themselves?
Also, be aware that, with a few exceptions, Bookshare's copyrighted books are available to United States citizens only.
Would any of your books be available at American colleges or universities? Say, www.harvard.edu 
www.yale.edu
www.mit.edu
(these are just specimen examples, and may not prove to be of much use. But I hope you get the drift of the idea.)

Hi Flor
I am attending an institute of technology  and am doing third year of
a course called Information Systems Management.  At the moment I am
searching for books to do with the subjects Marketing, Selling and
sales Management and Precurement Management.  I went on to
www.bookshare.org but they don't have any of the books I am looking
for.

Regards
Mairead

Mairead,

The answer to that depends a  lot on the college in question and what
course(s) you're doing.  And are you looking worldwide or irelandwide
for your texts?  You could for instance google your desired search
phrase, like the title of a text, in quotes, then the plus sign followed unspaced by some other key word(s) like your course name. Think MIT - massachusetts Institute of Technology, if you want to browse there, if 
you're going global.  Think of irish colleges like tcd.ie , ucd.ie ,
ucc.ie , etc.

Hi All
I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me if there are any
websites that I could download or read text books for college.  I am
useing jaws 8 at the moment but will be upgrading to 11 soon.
I would also appreciate it if someone could let me know if E bury
works with jaws as I would be able to access college books in the
library through this system.

Thanks in advance
Mairead
