Week 9: #22 Downloadable Media

Like others in my department, I was not able to download the Overdrive software so that I could listen to the book I chose. (Pride and Prejudice, just as a way to ease into checking out an audio book.) If I had a computer at home, I'd probably be using the available titles -- both audio and video -- quite often. I think this is a great alternative for libraries to provide titles. While I hope that paper never completely disappears (there's just something very satisfying about holding a book in your hands and turning the pages as you read), I can see a digital collection as more and more a part of a 21st century library.
