Eric will discuss how the service is funded, how new titles are selected, and how statistics are reported. He will demonstrate searching, placing holds, checking out, downloading, and playing an audio book, and he will demonstrate transfer of an audio book from a computer to an iPod. He will also discuss access to the service with wireless devices. There will be ample time for guided hands-on practice by participants of every part of Eric's demonstration.
