eAudiobooks are now available at RDPL through OCLC NetLibrary. Library members now have anytime, anywhere access to nearly 2,000 different eAudiobook titles.
eAudiobooks are books that have been read aloud and recorded. "Audiobooks, in the form of cassettes and CDs, have been popular in libraries for many years," says Dean Frey, Director of Red Deer Public Library "The ability to download eAudiobooks from the Web is being embraced by long-time listeners as well as new listeners who want material for their portable media devices."
A popular format in many libraries, eAudiobooks allow library users to listen to materials on-the-go. eAudiobooks can be checked out from a personal computer via the library's Web site, 24/7 and they are automatically returned to the library at the end of the checkout period. eAudiobooks can be downloaded or played on any desktop, laptop or portable device that supports Windows Media Player version 9 and above. Users can also transfer favorite titles to a wide range of portable devices, including portable music players, portable media centers and more.
