Is there a way to search just for things that are actually downloadable? My first 20 choices are not and it's getting a bit boring.

They are not downloadable. They are available for online viewing. Check the "Only show content I have access to" box.

Ah, so it's pretty much useless unless you need access to them right now and have the time to spend. Useful to know, if annoying.

To be fair, this is exactly CUP's intent.
