Though I initially had some trouble while searching for titles in LibriVox (I think that my queries may have been a little too recent)I think that the concept is a solid one. It is possible to search by title, author, and status for your desired work, while you can also browse the entire catalog. Much of what is currently available seems to be classic or literary in nature, so a definite suggestion for future recordings would be to include more recent fiction and non-fiction works, which might also increase usage of and visits to the site.
Within the website, information is also available releated to volunteering your time and voice to create a recording. To one day have access to much of the world's written word via audio file is such a tempting idea...maybe if each and every LIS student volunteered to read just one book, we'd get there a little quicker ;)
