Week 9 #22 Downloadable Media

Overdrive was very interesting and the online tutorial quite helpful. I was surprised to find movies available through Overdrive. One title that caught my attention was Afro-Punk. It's a documentary about being black in the predominantly white punk music scene. It supposedly includes concert footage of Bad Brains. I'm going to have to download that one at home ;)

Librivox reminded me somewhat of Project Gutenberg, but with a focus on audio files. WOWIO seemed to have a different mix of materials from Librivox because it includes some non-public domain materials through using sponsorship for targeted marketing (an interesting idea).
