Week 9 #22

Now this (emedia) is something I can wholeheartedly endorse! I'm not thrilled about the books to read online because I find it hard to curl up comfortably with a computer (someone should invent one about the size of a teddy bear and extremely mushy!) but I love the downloadable audiobooks, music and the videos. And, as a librarian who is constantly deaccessioning items that have been ruined because someone (who shall remain nameless but whose initials are "patrons with children and/or pets") has allowed the DVD to be used as a frisbee, the cassette to be used as a chew toy or video to be put in the player right after junior finished stuffing a PB&J sandwich in the slot, I really appreciate the fact that this item I'm borrowing will be just as good when I get it as it was when it was new. And even though I've used this technology in the past, in really looking through it, I am amazed at the selection.
