How to find Books to request in a Box-O-Books

Boxer Jack finds Books

  • Jack places his cursor over Community on the main toolbar at the top of any page on the site, and clicks Box-O-Books in the menu that drops down.
  • He is taken to the Box-O-Books area.  On this page:
    • Jack can search all Boxer bookshelves by title, author or ISBN in the first field
      • he can limit his search results by Large Print, binding type and genre
    • He can browse all Boxer books by genre in the Browse by Genre field (choose a genre from the dropdown menu, and select from subgenres that open to the right)
    • He can choose a specific Boxer by entering his or her first name or Nickname in the Boxers field
    • He can check out new Boxers' bookshelves from the links under the Boxer search field
  • Jack decides to check out Boxer Jill T.'s books (he met Jill in the Discussion Forums earlier that day in a discussion of suspense and mystery books):
    • Jack enters "Jill" (her first name) in the Boxers field
    • He clicks her name in the list to bring up her bookshelf. 
  • This is what Jack sees:

  • Jack clicks next to three books he wants to add to his Box with Jill.
  • This is what Jack sees next:

  • Jack can click the "x" beside any book in his Box on the right, to remove it from the Box.
  • When Jack clicks Save the Above Box, this will offer this Box swap to Jill.
