Books
MP3 CDs

XBox
The Schaumburg Township
District Library Audiovisual Department has added new item types to
its collection.
MP3 Audio Book
MP3 Audio
Books are self-contained, self-playing digital audio books.
Produced by Playaway Digital, this lightweight player with eight
simple buttons. Wear it around your neck or stick it in your pocket.
From novels to biographies, languages to business best sellers,
Playaway comes already loaded with your favorite content.
These are not books on CD but unabridged, digitalized books that
come in their own player. It fits into your pocket or purse and is
perfect for plan rides, train rides, commutes on the "L", and
doctors' waiting rooms. It's smaller than an iPod and
measuring aproximately 3 inches by 2 inches wide and about a quarter
inch thick, the Playaway comes with batteries and a lanyard. All you
have to do to listen is press play.
MP3CD
As of this
writing, 17 MP3CDs are on order and can be reserved through the
library website. MP3 audio books on compact disc provide very
high quality recordings and allow many hours of recording on a
single MP3 disc.
Please
remember, when using an MP3 on compact disc, your CD player
must be MP3 compatible. MP3 audiobooks on CD can be played on
newer CD and DVD players that support MP3 technology and accept a
4.75" diameter disc and on any personal computer that has
Microsoft's Media Player or similar software.
Playstation 2 and
XBox
Playstation 2 and
XBox are games that entertain and educate.
Whether you're using an Xbox or PlayStation 2 game, there
is a selection available that's come with an ESRB rating.
Almost all video games now come with these standard ratings that
give a general idea of what age the game is suited for. The ratings
translate as follows:
E means Everyone, but
is best for ages 6 and older.
T is the designation for
Teen (13 and up).
NR means Not
Rated.
