public and school librarians and teachers. Topics addressed include
how to begin and upgrade a collection, the relative merits of
complete and abridged audio books, a sample written selection
policy for the audio book collection, how to evaluate production
qualities of audio books, ratings of products from major producers
and distributors based on a survey of AV librarians, and an
annotated bibliography of more than 200 outstanding audio books. A
chapter on audio in education offers a rationale and many practical
suggestions for incorporating audio books in education from
elementary school through adult literacy programs.
This guide begins with a glossary of terms specific to this
medium. Chapter 1 traces the history and development of the audio
book industry and producers, and sketches a rationale for library
use. Chapter 2 focuses on the pros and cons of complete and
abridged audio books in libraries. Chapter 3 offers practical
advice on selection and display and evaluates the quality of tapes
and packaging. Chapter 4 offers a rationale for use of audio books
in education at all levels and suggests strategies for
implementation. Chapter 5 gives the results in tabular form of a
questionnaire sent to librarians who rated the quality of products
form the major audio book producer distributors. Chapter 6 is an
annotated bibliography of more than 200 outstanding titles
including quotes from reviews, prices, name of reader, etc. Chapter
