[NJTechDiv] BARD search question

[carcione at access.net]

I just needed to search for an author by last name on the BARD website, and I put the name in the general search.  It came up in titles and authors both, but it wasn’t too many and I found what I wanted. 

I thought there were separate searches for title and author, but that’s on the EReader and not on the regular website.

If you are using windows try using BARD Express. I find it to be easy and convenient because it has more options than the BARD site does when it comes to sorting a large number of results. It also will give you 1000 results when searching for books.

 

Also, I think NLS is beta testing a new version that will let you play your audio books in windows. I'm not sure how braille is going to be supported though.

 

You can download it from the BARD main page.

 

Too bad there isn't a mac version.

Hi list ken here.  Was just now looking at the bard site and noticed something very strange.  I can only find search by title or author but only adding a letter If I know the title of a book and I know the author, why can’t I search that way. The book I’m looking for is written by a facebook friend it’s called life rocks on the author’s name is laura pinto.  She is a facebook friend and grew up in NJ now living in florida searching for the title select a letter is impossible there are over 8000 results. There has got to be a better way to find books. If I’m going to use the braille Ereader that’s just to much. Am I missing something. Especially if I want to find books for helping my friend and NJ tech division member denise Lesko with her braille. Any suggestions?
