Listening and Lists

Audiobooks are experiencing rapid growth according to industry reports and listeners are driving the demand. Use the language of appeal for audiobooks to build lists that help patrons discover their next great listen. Create imaginative lists that highlight accents, narrators, genres and subjects. Incorporate the listener appeals of audiobooks in list descriptions and annotations.
