Ingram's Deal with U.S. Dept. of Defense, Will Provide Downloadable Audiobooks to All Service Members, Dependents, & National Guard

From the Announcement:

Ingram Content Group Inc. announced today [2/17] an agreement with the US Department of Defense (DOD) to offer downloadable digital audiobooks to military service members, their dependents, and National Guard members through MyiLibrary, Ingram’s market leading online e-content aggregation platform.

The MyiLibrary Audiobook inventory for the DOD will make almost 3,000 titles available to their user community. This comprehensive inventory of frontlist and backlist downloadable audiobooks includes content from publishers including Blackstone Audio, Books on Tape, Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc., HighBridge Company, Listen & Live Audio, Inc., Naxos Audiobooks, and Penguin Group (USA), Inc. among others. The MyiLibrary Audiobook titles are being added to compliment over 500 e-Book titles the DOD has acquired over the last two years from Ingram Digital.

This DOD offering will be launched through a number of DOD MWR (Morale, Welfare & Recreation) branch library web sites including; Army Knowledge Online, Navy Knowledge Online, My Air Force, Army One Source and Military One Source.

[Snip]

Ingram will authenticate DOD users via a new robust methodology that integrates seamlessly with the DOD’s knowledge portals. This new methodology, Personal Account Self Service (PASS) allows users to create personal accounts to checkout and download audio titles after authenticating against the library’s IP addresses. Once a personal account has been set up, the user can access the library’s collection, check out, and download audio titles remotely from anywhere in the world by logging into their personal account.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
