#22 Audiobooks (or "The end is in sight ")



Queens Library provides access to digital books, videos, music and audiobooks through the eMedia center.

For this discovery exercise, you merely need to familiarize yourself a bit with the structure of the digital catalog and get an idea of the types of titles you can find here. Take a look around and locate a few titles of interest. Be sure to check out the Advanced Search feature.

Discovery Resources:

OverDrive Digital Media Guided Tour
Digital Media Quick Start Guide

Discovery Exercise:

1. Click on the eAudiobooks link and explore some of the 900+ titles.
2. 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: If you are doing this from a home computer, try downloading a title. You don’t have to have a portable player to isten to audiobooks, you can also listen to it from a computer.
