There are a number of ways I have done this: 1. Typically, the titles are partial titles with the extensions, and the slightest differentiation in spelling will not find them for you, so you could use spotlight, finder, etc., to search for files with the extension .xml -- typically, the most recent one will show first. 2. Go into whatever folder you have the book in, and look for it. If the .xml file isn't there, open the folder with the book's title, and arrow down until you find the .xml file. Hitting enter should open Safari and place you at the top with the Bookshare notice. 3. Of course, if you know the truncated title, write that with the .xml extension in spotlight, and it should come up. I am sure there are more tech-savvy ways to do this, but these are what work for me. I've noticed that over the past year or so, newly uploaded books which I download from Bookshare have an XML file available, and I don't have to run unarchiver or put in my password. With some older books, I still have to. I never know which will be the case until I've downloaded a book and attempted to open it.
