[ISLMA-Share] Audiobooks

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

The equity issue is why we focus on hard audio rather than online
resources. We use Playaways, as well as books on MP3. We keep inexpensive
SanDisc players. When a student selects a book whose call number begins
with MP3, then I copy that audiobook onto the player. The book and player
together, although they have separate barcodes and must be scanned
separately, count as one checkout. When the unit is returned, it is cleaned
and erased.

Hope this helps!
