Librarian in Black Blog – Sarah Houghton

Andrea Mercado has alerted us to a fabulous site for libraries to know about and use: Books for Ears.  A review site dedicated to audiobooks, this site was created by Jeanne Kramer-Smyth.   The reviews are written in accessible English – nothing fancy or academic here.  See the review for The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (read by Stephen Fry) as an example.

Of course you can search, but you can also browse by genre, authors, and readers, and get RSS feeds for specific categories.  That is really nice – libraries could grab that feed and display it on their audiobooks or recommended books section of the website.  You can subscribe to get all updates via RSS or email as well.  Fabulous!
