[ISLMA-Share] eBook/Audio Platforms

Wed Jan 17 13:26:26 CST 2018

So we are finally 1 to 1 this year and I will be getting back on the
ebook/audio train.

ERead IL is a great value! You can scope the shared collection for your
needs and if you place enough holds the good folks over at RAILS will add
copies. :)

Biblioboard! Go check this out on the RAILS website. It is free! There is a
classic book collection you can import records into Follett in a hot
minute. There are also a ton of primary sources and other stuff.

I just got a quote from recorded books for their Core collection and it was
super reasonable and multi-use.
