[LM_NET] Hit: audio books and copyright

[Tammy Gibbs <tmgibbs67@YAHOO.COM>]

Thanks to everyone who responded.  The most commonly stated reason for buying from 
Listening Library is that they have a lifetime guarantee and will replace missing 
or damaged materials at no cost (that's definately worth the extra $10).  Also 
Carol Simpson had this to say:
"You are going to have to investigate each book to see what license is attached. I 
have seen hardcover books sold at Sams (a Wal-mart division) with a shrink wrap 
that says "not for sale to schools or libraries" — in other words, no first sale 
rights. Publishers are getting trickier about putting licenses on things they don't 
want to circulate. I expect that in our lifetimes we will see such licenses on 
print materials."  Carol Simpson, Ed.D. School of Library & Information Sciences, 
University of North Texas

I think I will stick to Listening Library.  Any suggestions on the best places to 
purchase audio tapes for picture books?
