Overdrive Downloadable Audio Books - Learning 2.0 #22

I don't listen to audiobooks much, and I suppose I should give it a shot one of these days. I have had the pleasure of downloading one a few months ago, just to see what it was like. The directions are easy and straightforward. Anyone with just a little bit of downloading and transferring experience should be able to handle it.

Unfortunately, SCLD software station computers do not allow patrons to download audiobooks at the library. This can make it much more difficult to help people. After I personally downloaded an audiobook at home, I did find it much easier to guide others through the process.

Recently someone posted a question on publib electronic discussion list regarding Overdrive computer stations in the library dedicated to downloading files. He got some interesting responses which he compiled here. Seaching the archive for overdrive download reveals that this issue is discussed every so often. Hopefully SCLD will look into this more - I know our patrons would love it.
