Subject: EBSCO Audiobooks Change

Hello,

I wanted to provide a head's up on a change coming for existing and new Audiobook purchases.  Due to a change in ownership with our partner, Findaway (https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230201005303/en/Penguin-Random-House-Audio-Acquires-Playaway-Products<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.businesswire.com%2Fnews%2Fhome%2F20230201005303%2Fen%2FPenguin-Random-House-Audio-Acquires-Playaway-Products&data=05%7C01%7CMelinda.Martin%40scc.spokane.edu%7C359dcf386b064e4f75bd08db0ab712a2%7C4dedfefa6bd04442a06c98aed0b4b8da%7C1%7C0%7C638115553658922605%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=M2RWC3OFCjt9Qf5C%2FeBKBPy2KyeYuVlukpH2nCvgiFA%3D&reserved=0>), EBSCO has decided to partner with Baker & Taylor (Axis360) to provide access to customers' previously purchased audiobooks and new purchases.
Effective April 15th, EBSCO will no longer be supporting audiobooks on EBSCOhost. New sales for audiobooks will cease on February 24th.

Audiobooks on Axis 360 bring exciting new features, including:
*              Discovery and access via the Axis 360 mobile app, as well as via your favorite browser
*              Early check-in and audiobook recall for library administrators
*              Customizable audiobook carousels and marketing assets to promote content to users
*              Increased accessibility options for users with disabilities
*              More publishers and purchasing models

Details will be forwarded later this week.  Affected customers will be sent information including a link to a consent form. EBSCO will send those responses to Baker & Taylor and they will take over the set-up from there.

I'm sorry for this change and any possible disruptions, but wanted to let you know as soon as possible.

Thanks
