Their website, at least, does not include a library option for purchase, and it has been my understanding that they do not currently allow library purchasing . . .

Harvard St. Glendale, CA 91205 818-937-7833 From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Antonella Ward Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 7:10 AM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: 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.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

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. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
