Downloadable eAudiobooks is a service provided by Recorded Books which is available through the library’s subscription to NetLibrary.To establish a NetLibrary account, you must first create your account through the NetLibrary Website. But once you have a Netlibrary user name and password (I know, I know … you’re tired of user names and passwords, but I promise this is the last user account for this program that you’ll have to create) you can access NetLibrary directly and bypass the APL catalog or site.

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:

Establish a Netlibrary account for yourself by accessing Netlibrary.

Note: You must be in the library to do this!
Once you have an account created, you can access NetLibrary directly at http://netlibrary.com/ Click on the eAudiobooks link and explore some of the thousands of titles.

Create a blog post about your findings. Did you locate a title that you might want to try out and download once you have your player?


OPTIONAL: Try downloading a title from the NetLibrary. You don’t have to have a portable player to listen to audiobooks, you can also listen to it from a computer. If you have issues with not being able to download, please let me know! It's been brought to IT's attention that this is an issue that we have and they said they were going to work on it. Let me know if you have any trouble and I will follow up on it.
