This week, I compiled and curated links, websites and sources of free ebooks, ejournals and audio books for BA Library Online. Now that we are in full swing of online classes, there is a need for teachers and community members to access selected and well chosen materials both for instructional or personal purposes. So, I am sharing the list I made. This is developing news, as they say in social media so there will be updates
Here is an initial list of free ebooks, ejournals and audiobooks selected and trawled from the web and in social media. We will develop this as we go. We encourage that you share what you find online. Together, we can build an online library of resources that specifically address our needs. Thank you!
Audible - Stories can be streamed via laptop, phone, tablet or desktop computer at stories.audible.com. The audiobooks are divided into categories: littlest listeners, elementary, tween, teen, literary classics and folk & fairy tales.
This is a personal favorite because of the anthologies of essays and short stories in the collection.
This is another good source for ebooks, especially if you are looking for more contemporary titles. Sign up in BookBub and it will send you recommendations of current books available in Amazon. When you sign up, you will be asked to check different book genres. Make sure your device has the Kindle reader app. BookBub is pretty loyal to Amazon.
DailyLit sends ebooks to your inbox on an installment basis. The subscription is free for now and ebooks are streamed online.
