Another
new eAudio resource! Spanish
language courses
Northeast
Regional Library has just added two new resources to the eAudio collection:
Spanish (Latin American): the short course and Spanish (Latin American):
the plus course. These two courses produced by the Pimsleur Language
Program focus on learning to understand and speak Spanish as it is
spoken in the Western Hemisphere. Either course can be used by itself
by a beginning student or to refresh the knowledge of more advanced
students.
Like our other eAudiobooks, these courses may be downloaded for an
initial three week period and renewed as needed. Unlike our other
eAudiobooks, these are not available for an unlimited number of users
at one time, but we have licensed multiple copies so that more than
one person can use them at a time.
Planning
a trip to Mexico? Have co-workers who speak Spanish? Why not brush-up
your language skills with one of these Pimsleur Spanish courses!

Downloadable
audiobooks
By Holly
McIntyre
Collection Development Librarian
Northeast Regional Library
There’s
something new for the users of the Northeast Regional Library –
downloadable audiobooks!
Beginning
September 1, 2009 the Northeast Regional Library will provide access
to downloadable audiobooks. The “eAudiobooks” will focus
on selected titles of interest to children and teenagers, plus classic
titles of adult fiction. Items in this collection are available to
multiple users at the same time. The downloads last for three weeks
and may be renewed online. Users may download up to ten works during
each three-week period.
To utilize
this new resource, you will need a library card from the Northeast
Regional Library system, access to a high-speed Internet connection,
up-to-date Windows software, and a compatible MP3 player or personal
computer. Some titles are available for iPods, iPhones, and Macs,
but far more are available in the MP3 format.
Begin by
clicking on the box on the right side of the web page that says “one
click audio downloads.” This link will take you to the Netlibrary
web site which hosts the collection. Information about compatible
players, software, and how-tos may be found in the FAQ section of
the Netlibrary web site. Once you establish a Netlibrary account,
you may begin to download audiobooks.
Titles available
in the collection include high school reading list favorites such
as The Scarlet Letter and Silas Marner as well as works for younger
readers featuring characters such as Encyclopedia Brown and Horrible
Harry. Adults may enjoy revisiting the works of Mark Twain or Jane
Austen. Some of the adult classics are also available as text files
which may be downloaded to a personal computer or eBook reader.
The Northeast
Regional Library hopes that residents of Alcorn, Prentiss, Tippah,
and Tishomingo counties will check out this new resource available
to you from your library.
