No such luck downloading audio books!

Alas, I cannot download an audio book from the library machines because they are locked down tighter than Ft. Knox. I've had this problem before where I want to install something and I cannot. I would hope that they would trust the staff a little more than they trust the patrons with regards to downloading!

I'll try from home later this week because I've been interested in downloading audio books for some time. I created an account a while back so I had some experience when patrons ask but I've never actually downloaded.

I have to say that I'm disappointed in the number (or lack thereof) of children's titles available! Why are there so few?

  1. Oh man, bummer...yeah, I think we staff have to have a roaming profile to be able to download software. I haven't tried mine yet...

    I know recorded books offers a separate package of children's materials, but I didn't realize there were so few titles in the core collection - a couple of other people have mentioned this - do you get lots of requests for children's downloads, or is it just the lack of representation in the format?

  2. We do not get a lot of requests for children's downloads. Most patrons around here prefer the playaways. But there really isn't much to dowload as far as children's go, anyway!
