#22 Audiobooks (or "The end is in sight")
I familiarized myself with the World EBook fair site. This free downloadable eAudiobook site is amazing. I downloaded both Shakespeare's Sonnet #055 and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Valley of Fear.
I really believe eBooks are more than just a fad. They have some real potential in library environments. No doubt there are licensing and technical issue to be considered. Then again, LIS has been using electronic databases for quite some time now. I realize a lot of people still prefer paper books. That's to be expected. A phased introduction of eBooks is the way to go.

We are about to intodcue downloadable ebooks into our library. I can see great potential for VCE students who want to listen to the book as well as read it (or just listen to it) The great advantage for us is that the mp3 file that has been downloaded wipes itself from the mp3 player when a specified time elapses (it's due date) No overdue fines.. How great is that!!
