Note: Currently, the Audio Book collection does not enjoy full cataloging.  As such, no subject headings are assigned; a keyword search in this collection returns results from the author or title field.

Search Tips

Audio books and non-musical sound recordings may be searched for in the library catalog.  Adding the term 'audiobook' to a keyword search is a simple way to limit your search to items from the leisure audio book collection. 

Many other non-musical sound recordings may be browsed or searched for by adding the term 'sound recording' in quotes to a keyword search. 

Users can limit their search of a subject in the library catalog to audio materials by using the advanced search screen and choosing “Nonmusical sound recordings” from the Materials menu. (Currently, a limit to "nonmusical sound recordings" does not return results in the audio book collection.)

Collection Description

The Library Media Center maintains a small selection of audio books as part of the Leisure Reading Collection.  As with Leisure Reading print books, these Books on CD are primarily popular fiction and current non-fiction bestsellers.  Some of the titles are abridged, containing a selected reading of the original work; while others are unabridged, with the whole work available.

In addition, a small selection of audio books can be found in the General Collection, Literacy Library, and Juvenile Collection.  Unlike the Leisure audio books, these titles are not located next to each other on the same shelf.
