Each month, Recorded Books adds new titles to the NetLibrary collection of eaudiobooks available to Idaho residents through the LiLI eAudioBooks Collection (LiLI ABC). MARC records for the items added in the past month are now available for download to add to the library's local catalog.

Note: Libraries that update their eaudiobook MARC records every month, will want to make the following adjustments. Please note the email from NetLibrary below:

There are a lot of good things coming for the LiLI eAudioBooks Collection users. The first thing is Media Center.

Last week I sent a note to LibIdaho informing everyone of the availability of MARC records for the September additions. A number of people have informed ICFL of there being some sort of error with the files. We have been working on this over the past few days. Fresh batch files for September and August have been acquired and were tested by a couple organizations.

Titles are added to the LiLI eAudioBooks Collection regularly. Each month a batch of the MARC records for those added titles are made available so they can be added to the local library catalog. Right-click the links below to download the file of MARC records, then import to your local catalog.

November 2007 update -- 59 total records (49 core collection, 10 childrens & young adult collection)

After a demonstration project that ran from October 2007 - September 2009, the Idaho Commission for Libraries has arranged a group subscription option for libraries wishing to continue access to the downloadable audiobooks.   

During this past month, 40 new titles were added to the collection of downloadable audiobooks available through LiLI eAudioBook Collection (LiLI ABC). The batch of MARC records for those new titles and a title list is available at http://libraries.idaho.gov/marcdownload.
