How To Find Audiobooks

Audiobooks at Duke

Search the library catalog:

  • Try a keyword search for "audiobooks".
  • Use the Advanced search and choose the Format "Audio Book" in the dropdown menu.

The 'Location' information will generally tell you if the book is a cassette tape, CD, or in a digitally downloadable format.  Cassette and CD audiobooks are found in several libraries across campus.
