Sioux City Library's New Music Collection

          You know that the WILBOR Consortium allows participating libraries affordable access to downloadable audio books—and very soon, downloadable ebooks too. But Sioux City Public Library is providing yet another downloadable collection: music. SCPL has invested two thirds of its music budget in downloadable music, giving patrons access to hundreds of thousands of songs in the Sony Music Catalog. Free + Legal = Freegal Music, “your new music library.” This DRM-free music service provides an incredible increase in choices for music-loving patrons—plus nice advantages for library staff. Because staff will order and process fewer physical CDs, there’s less time needed to clean and maintain the collection. Freegal Music is available to anyone with a full service library card from SCPL via http://www.siouxcitylibrary.org/.  And you can learn more about the Sony Music Catalog at http://www.sonymusic.com/.
