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.
