[CASL-L] streaming audiobooks

[Rocca, Jen]

We've discussed this before but I think it has been a while.

Our high school teachers sometimes play an audiobook in the classroom for
students to hear.

Is there a legal streaming solution for this? If I purchased a legal audio
version of the book - other than purchasing it through Follett and
accessing it through the catalog, I can't find a way for teachers to access
it in their classrooms. It needs to be single user. We don't want multiple
people all logging into one account - that is not ethically sound. Audible
has no interest in partnering with schools. They told me that very directly
the last time I tried to talk to them.

Short of having books on CD and a boombox, I can't find a way to have
audiobooks in the library for teachers to use in their classes.

Any wisdom from the masses?
