#19 Audiobooks

It’s time to take a look around NetLibrary and downloadable eAudiobooks.

Downloadable eAudiobooks is a service provided by Recorded Books which is available through the undergraduate library’s subscription to NetLibrary.

To establish a NetLibrary account, you must first create your account through the ZSR website.

Discovery Resources:

For this discovery exercise, you merely need to familiarize yourself a bit with the structure of NetLibrary's Downloadable eAudiobooks site and get an idea of the types of titles you can find here. Take a look around and locate a few titles of interest.

Discovery Exercise:

1. Establish a Netlibrary account for yourself by accessing Netlibrary through the ZSR site.
2. Once you have an account created, you can access NetLibrary directly at http://netlibrary.com/
3. Click on the eAudiobooks link and explore some of the 1300 + titles.
4. Create a blog post about your findings. Did you locate a title that you might want to try out and download?

OPTIONAL: Try downloading a title from the NetLibrary. You don’t have to have a portable player to listen to audio books, you can also listen to it from a computer.
