Through NCLive, we get access to some 24,000+ e-books from Netlibrary. For the last couple of years, NC Live has also added hundreds of downloadable e-audiobooks. These are all accessible through the library catalog here , but as of January 1st, 2009, NC Live will discontinue its subscription to the e-audiobook service. Part of this decision was based on the restrictive licensing placed on Netlibrary e-audiobooks, and it's incompatibility with playing devices (the titles are not compatible with ipod or Microsoft Zune, two of the most popular mp3 players).
The Netlibrary e-books will still be accessible, but after January 1st, all e-audiobooks will be removed from the catalog, and any previously downloaded titles will not be renewable once their checkout license expires.
Also, remember that Netlibrary e-books, while not the most user-friendly to read, are full-text indexed and searchable. NC Live title list , public domain Netlibrary collection title list .
