I think I remember hearing that
the Toronto library bought like a record amount of copies of the audio books for heated rivalries.
That whole series was very, very popular in Toronto.
I mean, to be fair, it's very, very popular.
Absolutely everywhere.
How'd you get that to work?
Out of curiosity, I don't know if you have liberty of talking about this.
How much does it cost for a library to purchase a copy of an audio book to be able to check out for the patrons?
Because it's like a special sort of license, right?
Because you're checking it out for multiple patrons.
Wow.
Okay, wait, if you're acquiring an audiobook that's only valid for 24 checkouts, if it becomes a really popular title, I mean, that expires pretty quickly.
And then you have to make the decision whether or not you want to renew it.
In which case, I'm assuming you might want to go with like a timed limit, like a limited license for one or two years instead.
I can see where the dilemmas would come in.
this all sounds so hands-on you're really actively managing your collection and you're not just selecting the titles you want you have to manage the type of contracts and how you're licensing them because there's a lot of implications you have to understand the popularity and demand for all of these different titles and manage a budget on top of that your job sounds a lot more complicated than i initially thought
How much information do you have regarding the specific demand of the Calgary Public Library?
Because it's regionalized, there might be certain books that are especially popular in Calgary or in Alberta.
Do you have information on what specific books your patrons are interested in?
Back to licenses.
