eAudio books

The KCLS eCollection is impressive! I knew that we had these resources available, and even checked out the eAudio book The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis and borrowed a regular eBook, but I'm not a regular user and so most of this catalog is new to me. There's so much to explore! It's actually a little overwhelming, and I'd love it if there was an orientation video on the home page of the eCollection.

I love the Books 24X7 service that lets you read the latest technology books online. I'm a little sad to not have the paper version to hold in my hands, but I see how quickly these books get dated, and it makes sense to store them online.

I'm sure lots of patrons don't even know these fabulous resources are available! How can we let them know? Also, they are fairly easy to use, but if there are a lot of people like me, they might appreciate a more personal orientation and then become enthusiastic teachers who spread the word....

Books 24x7! They used to be my favorite, back when I was industrious enough to actually code things.

I liked them better than the physical book because I could access them from any computer lab and didn't have to drag giant tech books around with me.
