I second the Learning Ally plug, and try to have an audiobook copy of all
assigned English readings. This way, I can assign the book in OverDrive
since students usually need it for an extended period of time - this is an
issue with regular audiobook checkouts and even audiobooks from the public
library. Learning Ally has an indefinite checkout period and I usually ask
students when the assignment/test on the book is and check our OverDrive
copy out to them until then. This keeps it from circulating generally for
at least a month, which I know isn't the best.
Cheers,
Christiana

Hi all
Hope everyone is doing well! I've got a request from our Counseling
Department to look into providing audiobooks of class readings for
students with specific accommodations, and I'm wondering how you address
this at your schools?
Previously, families have been purchasing their own copies through
Audible, but they would like a way for us to provide them. I know we offer
some through OverDrive, but those are quite expense. Just wondering what
else is out there?
Thanks,
Jessica
