Re: [Videolib] Rosetta Stone Language Programs
Alas, we cannot afford the software because of Rosetta Stone's requirements, 1 software package only on 1 computer. It is great software though.

Re: [Videolib] Rosetta Stone Language Programs
Farhad, At Angelo State University, the Library keeps a copy of the Rosetta Stone for Russian on permanent reserve. We have one dedicated machine on which the software is installed. This computer is not connected to our network, has no other software loaded on it, not even MS Office, and does not require a login. I was not directly involved in the acquisition of the software, but it is my understanding that Rosetta Stone has an institutional option, where you purchase the software and license number of simultaneous users. I believe ours was licensed for one user at a time. You should try contacting Rosetta Stone to see what options are available with regards to multiple simultaneous users.

Re: [Videolib] Rosetta Stone Language Programs
We just subscribed to Mango Languages. No idea how popular useful it will turn out to be, but it is a hosted service with library subscriptions IP access available, so that alone made it more desirable than the frequently requested Rosetta Stone products. http://www.mangolanguages.com/ Barb Bergman | Media Services Interlibrary Loan Librarian | Minnesota State University, Mankato | (507) 389-5945 | barbara.berg...@mnsu.edu VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions.
