Lesson 8 Part 2 Challenge
Searching for popular audiobook titles in OverDrive and OneClick are relatively easy. I searched several titles, Before the Fall, The Girl on the Train, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Court of Thorns and Roses and found that the title was exclusively available on one platform or the other. This was not something that I had realized before given my limited use of eAudiobooks, though it makes perfect sense from a publishing and distribution lens. If a patron is exclusively wanting audiobooks and not tied to a particular title I would suggest starting with OneClick. OverDrive has a great number of titles, but the search process can be muddy and frustrating if the patron isn't careful with restricting their search or checking icons for the audiobook headphones.
