BCR Launches NetLibrary Shared eAudiobook Collection
BCR is launching a new NetLibrary eAudiobook Shared Collection this spring. A complete title list and pricing to participate in the collection is available on the BCR Web site. Please complete the sign-up form, also on the Web site, by June 15.
The BCR Shared eAudiobook Collection includes 200 titles from publishers such as Random House, Books on Tape, Listen and Live, Listening Library and Blackstone Audio. Among the mixture of fiction, non-fiction and some children's titles, you'll find titles from best-selling authors, including Robert B. Parker, Sue Grafton, Jonathan Kellerman, Alice Munro and Dean R. Koontz. The collection includes "My Life in France" by Julia Child and "Life After Death: The Burden of Proof" by Deepak Chopra, as well as two titles from the popular "Artemis Fowl" series.
Note: The BCR Shared eAudiobook Collection is different from other shared e-book collections as this collection will require a contribution each year that the library wishes to access the collection. The initial collection will consist of the 200 titles in the list linked to above, and new content or additional titles will be added to the collection on a regular basis (bi-annually). Annually, libraries will need to contribute funds at their appropriate level in order to continue to access the collection.
