LibriVox
LibriVox is becoming a valuable resource for free audio books. They just reached 1500 titles in the collection.
We?ve had a pretty extraordinary May. We cataloged our 1,500th book, James Baldwin?s children?s history book, Four Great Americans, which was a great accomplishment. (Considering seven months ago we were at 1,000).Is anyone cataloging these and adding them to their collection? Burning them to CDs and adding those to the collection? A few months back the Nebraska Library Commission made news by adding a few books licensed under Creative Commons to their catalog. Anyone doing the same for the LibriVox materials? Adding the records to OCLC for sharing or making them available via OAI-PMH?
But we also had an impressively productive month: we released 115 (!) audiobooks into the public domain, almost four per day. Our previous record for monthly production was 77, reached in July 2007.
