[Nfb-science] Two Questions

[Mike Freeman]

You don't need to download any form; it's a standard form-field web search.
And have you tried the Advanced Search? Does it not allow you to narrow down
your search somewhat?

Actually, I don't use Bookshare much from a computer anymore; I access it
with the Voice Dream app on my iPhone. Much easier.

Hi All,
  I finally got a Bookshare account to increase the choices for text books I
can use when teaching in my field. However, as a newbie I have two questions
for those who use this service that I am struggling with:

1)  The website says that you can use it with JAWS, can anyone tell me how
to do so (e.g., what form you need to download, what file to open and
where...)?

2)  Most of the searches I am doing, even when they seem like they should be
more specific and thus yield few results, typically give me hundreds or more
often thousands of results, most of which are relatively unrelated to what I
requested. How can I best search (either on-line or on a VR-Stream)?

  Any information, advice, or suggestions would be very appreciated!
Have a wonderful rest of the week!
Chris
