Librophile.com (beta) provides a simple interface for finding both the free audio books at Librivox.org and the pay books at Audible.com. Their ultimate aim is to provide a one stop shop of all the audio and electronic books out there. Using free tools such as jQuery and jQuery.TOOLS, Librophile offers a simple interface based around scrolling through books in the various archives. You can browse the latest books, search by keywords or choose more broadly by genre. You can often listen to chapters online, download a whole book, play a sample or subscribe using iTunes. Phase 2 of the project will be to extend the site to encompass a greater range of books from other sources. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. This has been added to Reference Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
