I was discribing how to use the National Library Service multiple term search 
feature.  The system was designed to search the NLS catalog, but NLS also 
references many other holding agencies for accessible books. that is why 
holding agency is one of the possible search criterian.  Bookshare is one of 
the libraries that you can search, and since bookshare doesn't have a keyboard 
search facility of it's own, it often works better to search for books from any 
accessible library through NLS.  Of course you still need to have a user name 
and password for bookshare, or a membership for whatever libary service you 
want to request books from.  NLS doesn't give you access, but it does let you 
find things.  RFB&D gets their books listed with NLS as well.  I can't remember 
all the other possibilities.
