Week 9: Audiobooks (The end is in sight)

As we couldn't access the Net Library, we were instructed to visist World ebook fair, from there I went into Gutenberg Project with showed a list of free ebooks. Ebooks are a wonderful invention for individuals who can't hold a book but can type and see the screen, it is also for the very busy individuals who haven't got time to sit and read the entire book and only want a certain section, or if a book which has gone out of print but is available in ebook. I have used this service via YPRL home page - Net Library for a number of patrons and was disappointed the service is not available.

I went into Gutenberg Project and listerned to the Little Match Girl - you can either listern to a human (American voice) or a computerised voice. This wonderful tool is a benefit to all individuals and I am sure as time marches on the quality of the sound will too.......
