I haven't used it, but LibriVox appears to have audio recordings of volunteers 
reading public domain works in German, French, Russian and other languages:

Is anyone collecting foreign language CDs, and if so what do you
collect and how do you circulate them?  I get requests for things like
Barron's Mastering French which comes with 12 CDs.  First of all, do you
even collect material like that, and if so how would you manage and

Re: [Videolib] Foreign language materials

[S Urwiler]

Hi Elizabeth -
It is possible, but I know my current library would never do it - we don't have 
enough patrons who are interested to warrant purchasing those items, which are 
generally not inexpensive.  At one library I worked for, the foreign language 
materials budget was based on census data.  And I believe the % had to be 
pretty 
high - it's been several years, so I could be wrong; but I believe that our 
threshold was 10% of our population served had to speak a particular language 
for us to be able to allocate funds towards materials in that language.  We had 
a diverse population there, so we had Spanish, Polish, Russian, and Korean 
materials.  And still had complaints about the various languages not 
represented.  I'm not talking about the language-learning materials, but about 
books, magazines, and videos published in those languages.  I don't remember 
that we had foreign language audio books there, but I could be wrong.  I would 
imagine that the price was prohibitive.  I can certainly appreciate your 
frustration, and they are probably difficult to find even through interlibrary 
loan - but I think most libraries have difficulty spending so much money on 
materials very few patrons would use.

Sheila

Hi Matt
We circulate foreign language learning CDs, too.  We have a pretty wide variety 
(http://www.lib.unc.edu/house/mrc/pages/collection/language.html) and it is an 
extremely  popular service.We loan them out as kits (so, if Pimsleur Arabic 
has 8 discs, they all go out together) for 30 days at a time.  Like our other 
media materials, they cannot be recalled or renewed online.  As with Kim's 
collection - these are held with all of our Media Center materials in our 
closed stacks.
We've had this collection for about 7 years - and it remains highly used.

We circulate foreign language learning CDs and Playaways (self-contained, 
portable MP3 devices). We've purchased Pimsleur,  Colloquial Series and Henry 
Ramond's Learn In Your Car series. The Pimsleur language learning Playaways are 
our highest circing audiobook materials.

CDs are circ'd as a full set, along with their print guides.  We use to barcode

Re: [Videolib] Foreign language materials

[Tatar, Becky]

I know things might work differently at a college library, but we
circulate sets like that as they come.  If it comes with 5 discs, it
circs that way. We have a wide range of languages  from around the
world, as well as many ESL sets for foreign speakers.  Our audiobooks
circulate for 4 weeks, and can be renewed for another 4 weeks.
Depending on the company, sometimes you can get replacement discs at no
charge, or for a low fee.  Some companies don't have a replacement disc
service at all.  Some of our popular titles are published by Living
Language, Pimsleur, DK, Berlitz,  and Conversaphone.  Of course, there
are more!  Hope this helps.

[Videolib] Foreign language materials

[Ball, James (jmb4aw)]

Hi All,

Is anyone collecting foreign language CDs, and if so what do you collect and 
how do you circulate them?  I get requests for things like Barron's Mastering 
French which comes with 12 CDs.  First of all, do you even collect material 
like that, and if so how would you manage and circulate it.  Would you check it 
out as a set?  One disc at a time?  Is there a different loan period? Are they 
recallable?  Just trying to wrap my head around how to easily and effectively 
do this.

Cheers,

Matt
