Consider joining me for this training.

For audiobook fans it is the preferred method for obtaining information and enjoying a good book. As audiobooks become more popular with a wider range of library patrons, library staff have questions! This four-hour online course covers the basics of audiobooks-including new technologies and formats. The focus will be on selection considerations, formats, marketing, and review sources. We will also look at research related to the use of audiobooks with students and explore resources to help library staff keep up to date with audiobooks. Target Audience: Staff in public, school, and academic libraries Instructor: Jeanette Larson has been an audiophile for more than 25 years. She is the editor of the "Listening Librarians" column for AudioFile Magazine and has been a judge for the Audio Book Publishers Awards since 1998. Ms. Larson regularly reviews audiobooks for Booklist. This course consists of two 2-hour sessions. It is designed for individual participation; each individual must register. _______________________________________________ syscon-tx mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.tsl.state.tx.us/mailman/listinfo/syscon-tx
