I realized i had posted this in the wrong place. So I am republishing it now.
I admit some hesitation for this week’s homework. I had numerous questions and concerns. I did not want to create problems on library computers, but hesitated downloading e-audio files to my home computer. I have seen the books on cd with mega sets of cds and wondered about downloading that much data onto my hard drive. And then debated whether I really wanted to burn it to numerous cds to listen to in the car (I don’t want to listen to it at the computer nor do I have a MP3 player, yet!) Does the burned cd “expire” after the 2 week borrow period? Is there any info on how long the data remains on the hard drive of the computer? Does one have to specially remove data from the hard drive even after the 2 week lending period? I know lots of patrons who really enjoy this service, but I have never seen myself using it except for my infrequent long car trips and have resisted using the collection until now. I tried to check out “milkweed” but my work computer needed the e audio program downloaded, which I found hard to do.
I am not the sort of person who likes to read things on a monitor or sit at a computer to listen to an audio book.
