site is down for Maintenance for a few hours.

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] searching for synopsis on Bookshare
using Nlswiththe Bn
Richard,
I will give the instructions again, but I'm not currently
following this procedure as I write it, so I hope I don't make
any mistakes. I seem to be experiencing Internet problems right
now, so that is why I'm not testing as I write. I was just going
to submit a book to bookshare, but the bookshare homepage doesn't
load at all.
In the browser enter the address http://www.loc.gov/nls and press
enter. When the page loads either hit S or do a find for the
word search. You want the search the catalog link, but it won't
be the first thing you find. Press enter on the link when you
find it. Now when that page loads you will want to hit m, which
will take you to the multiple term search link. Press enter on
it. When the page loads use space with dots 4-6 to take you to
the first form control. It will be a radio button to select the
type of record display you would like. You want to choose the
second option "full record display," because that will give you
the synopses given for the book on bookshare. Keep using space
with dots 4-6 to move to and fill out the rest of the fields.
You will have three search criterion to fill in. You don't have
to use them all, though. Make sure you write bookshare in one of
the edits and leave the combo-box for that field set to any
keyword. That should be all that is necessary to look at books
from bookshare with synopses. Just remember that you will have
to login to bookshare before you can download any books you
select, so you will press enter on the link to take you to the
book's download page, then press L to find the login link. Once
you have logged in use the Enter with B command to go back until
you get the book download page again.
Write if you need more help and hopefully my Internet will be
working properly and I can help.
