NetLibrary

I'm really glad that the Library's collection on NetLibrary now includes eAudiobooks in addition to the eBooks that made up the collection previously. The eBook format works well for reference resources but as for reading a book in this format from cover to cover - I just can't see myself doing it. And judging from the lack of enthusiasm from our patrons, I'm guessing I'm not the only one.

Audiobooks are a different story. I can definitely see myself embracing this format. It would be great to download one of the dozens of books I have on my list of "Books to Read" and listen to it while I am out for a walk, driving, or even doing housework.

Our library offers this audiobook collection through SOLS (Southern Ontario Library Service), as a member of the Consortium of Ontario Libraries (COOL). The initial collection is 751 titles and has tried to offer a bit of everything. I am definitely looking forward to seeing this collection grow.
