One Last Chance to Join the PALS Audio Ebook Consortium!
If your library would like to offer your patrons downloadable audio ebooks offered by Recorded Books/netLibrary for this calendar year, it is not too late to join the PALS Audio Ebook consortium. PALS is able to offer one more opportunity for members to enroll, and after that the next enrollment opportunity will be late in the year for participation for calendar year 2007. Libraries that participate in this program currently have access to 1,161 audio ebooks, with approximately 30 titles added per month for the rest of 2006. These downloadable ebooks are not compatible with IPods due to digital rights management issues, but here is a list of MP3 players that are compatible. Members enrolling with this final offer will begin their access in March and your subscription will end on December 31, 2006, at which time you will be asked if you would like to renew. Deadline to enroll for this last opportunity for this year is March 1, 2006. Submit the enrollment form to Judy at PALS-CVSC via delivery (RBLG) or via fax at 309-799-7916. Contact Judy with questions at x3150 or judyh@palsnet.info.
