[LM_NET] TARGET - MP3 Audiobooks Procedures and Policies

[Susan McCaffrey <SMcCaffr@EGRPS.ORG>]

I need input from those of you who have tackled the thorny question of providing 
MP3 versions of books.  Can you please share experiences, successes, sources, etc., 
especially answering these questions:
 
1.  Do you circulate MP3 players and, if so, which one?
 
2. Do you work with a service such as Audible or Overdrive and, if so, what is your 
opinion?
 
3.  What are the copyright implications for transferring audiobooks on CD to itunes 
then allowing students to download?
 
4.  How is it determined which students are "eligible" to use audiobooks?
 
ANY input regarding providing, storing, software/hardware issues, etc. in the MP3 
area is greatly appreciated.  I will compile a HIT with the responses.
