The Sign me up for email notices link is now live under the My Library section in the right hand column on the InfoSoup homepage.
As discussed at the AAC meeting on Friday March 18, we have decided that, given our budget situation, we cannot renew our contract this year for Mango Languages. The last day Mango will be available will be March 31. I have put a notice on the InfoSoup home page under the Mango logo and on the Mango Login page http://info.infosoup.org/mango/. On the Mango login page I have also put together a quick collection of resources and links for finding language learning resources in InfoSoup and online. Over the next few weeks I will be working on a more permanent page of language resources. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
The SAM statistics were posted today. We had a small problem with the SAM database, but the problem has now been resolved.
