Re: [Videolib] Rosetta Stone Language Programs
Our library did not purchase the software so that it could be checked out. We purchased one copy of the software with single user license, and offer access to that software on one computer station located in the library building. We check out the computer station for statistical purposes, not the software. Rosetta Stone does sell their products to higher education institutions. If your library has the necessary funds and sufficient hardware to accommodate your foreign language learners, it might be something worth finding out more about. The following from Rosetta Stone's Web site (bold colored font is mine): Delivery Formats Rosetta Stone(r) Classroom offers flexible language-learning solutions that can be used easily and effectively by educational institutions of every scope and size, from individual schools to districtwide programs. Our program supports a variety of technology environments and requirements, and is available either hosted online or as networked CD-ROM software. Plus, flexible licensing models open up the power of Rosetta Stone for a fixed number of students and courses, or for your entire student body. Online * Our most powerful and versatile solution. * Access the program on a computer with an Internet connection. * 24/7 access for maximum language-learning flexibility - students can work in school or at home. * Includes full administrative access to Rosetta Stone Manager<http://www.rosettastone.com/schools/overview/RSManager>. * Solutions are scalable for language-learning populations of all sizes. CD-ROM * Install on a single workstation or an entire network. * Includes full administrative access to Rosetta Stone Manager<http://www.rosettastone.com/schools/overview/RSManager>. * Flexibility to start with a single license and add licenses, languages and levels as needed.
