Peter Scott links to a new UK project called Web Words. The concept is to provide a higher level of audiobook browsablility by providing links from catalog entries to mp3s containing samples of the actual reading. Nothing particularly complicated is required to integrate these links as MARC format provides the 856 field specifically for that purpose. Although Web Words is geared toward the visually impaired, I imagine that it will prove useful to others who want to “sample the goods” before investing their time in an potentially inferior product.
