Audio
Books owned by our School Resource Centres which have been
appropriately catalogued into our Library software, Alice,
can be loaned to students on an iPod Shuffle or Nano following normal
library lending rules. These audio books are generally purchased
from web sites such as Audible.com or where permission has been granted.
Audio books currently on Cassette Tapes or CDs can be format shifted
into the AAC format with restrictions (Refer
Copyright information sent to School Resource Centres) Audio
books are a great solution for our students who have a print disability
eg visual, dyslexia as well as those students who are relunctant
readers for a variety of reasons. In particular, students who are
visually impaired who go to another area to access audio equipment
during silent reading times can now remain with their peers rather
than feel excluded. Of course you have to factor in the 'looking
cool' element! Wearing a white lanyard with an iPod Shuffle attached
will certainly aid inclusion.
