Hello, Everyone,
I have just scanned a book which I was hoping to read and then to submit to
Bookshare.
However, in reviewing the first pages of the scan, I can't find any copyright
information, but I am sure the book is copyrighted because the novel was
reissued by Prairie State Books. Can anyone describe the copyright symbol for
me as I might be able to find it with my optacon even though the scanner does
not pick it up.
Also, I then attempted to find the copyright information on
www.copyright.gov
but my search skills were ineffective.
I entered on the link
search records
Then I entered on the link
books, music etc.
At first I checked the box for author and entered the author's name in the edit
field, last name first. I got a huge number of search results and gave up
before finding the author after scrolling through the results for more than 30
mintes.
Then I went back to the
books music etc
and checked the title
I typed in the title without the first word which was an article "the"
Again I got a huge number of results to scroll through a few at a time.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a simpler way to search this site with a
screen reader? I am very good at searching google and other sites, but this
one has me baffled.
By the way, I am searching for "Madeline Babcock Smith" and/or "The Lemon Jelly
Cake".
Please excuse the length of this email, but I really want to learn to search
this site.
Thanks.
