EBSCO Audiobooks Tutorial

Step 1 : Find an audiobook & borrow it

First, find an audiobook you would like to listen to. You can either Browse the Downloadable Audiobook Collection...

...or find an audiobook in the search results, when you do a search in One Search. The icons will indicate whether it is an audiobook. You can hear a sample by clicking on the button, or on the title to get more information such as book reviews, etc.
