Audiobooks Provides Digital Alternative
Imagine taking multiple books on a long car or airplane trip, without the extra bulk; or taking in a few foreign language lessons while you clean your home; or finally finishing that engrossing novel on your next jog. Audiobooks makes this, and more, possible by providing a digital alternative to hard-copy books.
Pellissippi students, faculty, and staff can now checkout and download over 1,300 available Audiobooks titles. Audiobooks can be played on your computer or transferred to a portable listening device.
Take a look at what is available to you:
Pellissippi provides Audiobooks from NetLibrary, including a core collection of fiction and nonfiction, The Pimsleur Language Series, and the Contemporary English Version (CEV) Holy Bible. Audiobooks can be searched by title, author, subject, keyword, and publisher, and can also be browsed by genre or full collection.
To access Pellissippi's Audiobooks collection, visit our NetLibrary site or the Pellissippi Library's online catalog. Users will need to create a free NetLibrary account before downloading titles. After downloading, titles may be transferred to a portable listening device, such as portable music players, Pocket PCs, and some smartphone devices. (Please note that iPod does not currently support the Audiobooks file types; click here to find out if your device supports Audiobooks files).
