[CASL-L] Audiobooks

[Melissa Thom]

Same here at Bristow regarding Overdrive.  It is really easy to use and
integrates with Destiny so the students don't have to access a separate
site. The only thing I wish were a little different is that when you buy
titles, you don't own them forever and if you were to switch platforms at
any point you would lose the ability to access them.

I also purchase audio and e-books from Mackin.  The titles you purchase are
in your catalog forever!  I only have a couple e-books and audio so I am
still learning the ins and outs but so far I am a fan!!

Does anyone use playaways or the JLG audio level?  The students love them
since all they need are earbuds and do not have to worry about internet.
The issue with this format is that they are cost prohibitive.  I am really
trying to find a solution to this issue--one thought I had was getting some
type of device that I could upload titles to but haven't had time to do any
research.  Any suggestions?
