Audio Books, Music & Videos

Adams State library patrons may download audio books, e-books, music and videos for free!

The library also has MP3 players available for checkout to Adams State students, staff, and faculty (ask at the reference desk on second floor).

Listen to items on your computer (PC) or your portable media player (MP3 player).
Click HERE for a list of compatible portable media players.
Some items can also be copied to CDs.
Most of the books are unabridged.
New titles are constantly being added.
Most items are checked out to you for a one-week period.
No risk of overdues. Items are automatically checked in when they are due.
Items cannot be renewed, but they can be checked out again.

To have a librarian step you through this entire process, stop by the library and go to the Reference Desk on second floor.
If you do not own your own computer or you lack access to a high-speed internet connection, you may use a computer at the Adams State library. Ask at the Reference Desk on second floor.

The program will step you through the process, but basically it includes the following three parts.

Download Windows Media Player (version 9 or newer) if necessary. Your computer probably already has this software.
Download the Overdrive Media Console. You will only need to do this one time.
Within the Overdrive Media Console run the Windows Media Player Security Update. You will only need to do this one time.

Browse through the available items.
Select the items you are interested in by placing them in your Book Bag. You may have up to 7 items in your Book Bag at a time.
If an item is already checked out to another patron, you will not be able to place it into your <em>Book Bag</em>. However, you may place a hold on it, and when the item is available, you will be notified by e-mail.
Although you can place 7 items into your Book Bag, you may check out only 5 items. Decide which 5 items you want and check them out. To do this you will need to know your ASC library card number (which begins 401).

To see the items you have checked out, click on the My Account icon.
For each item you have checked out, there will be an icon that says Download. Clicking on Download will cause that particular item to download to your computer. (Note: This Download button is different from the link that says, "Click here to download the software needed to use this Overdrive WMA Audiobook title.")

If it's not already open, click on the Overdrive Media Console icon located on your computer desktop.
Highlight the title you wish to listen to or watch.
Click on Play to listen (or watch) using your computer. To listen (or watch) using an MP3 player, click on Transfer. To copy to CDs, click on Burn.
