Are you a commuter? Or, are you planning to take a long car trip sometime this summer? If so, check out the library’s collection of audiobooks!
This growing collection is located on the lower level of the library, in the Audiovisual Collection room just to the right as you come off the stairs or the elevator. Items check out for four weeks, and most are in CD format, although there are also books on cassette. We have some children’s audiobooks as well.
Come browse in person, or you can browse virtually following these steps:
1) Go to the library’s home page: http://www.tarleton.edu/~library/
2) Click on “Search the Catalog.”
3) Click on “Power Search.”
4) From the drop-down menu in the box next to the word “type:”, choose “Audiobook.”
5) Then click on the “Search” button, and you should get a list of over 400 audiobooks, with those published most recently listed first.
Suggestions for future purchases are always welcome – contact Special Services Librarian Amanda Pape at pape@tarleton.edu or at 254-968-9251.

Questions at Semester's End
When a semester ends, questions often appear on the horizon:
~ Is finishing my degree worth the time and expense?
~ Should I consider getting a masters degree?
~ Should I change my major before next semester?
~ When I finally graduate, will I be able to find a job?
Many resources are available to help you find answers to these questions:
