11-8-2007 Rosetta Stone to be Discontinued 1/31/2008
The Rosetta Stone immersion language learning program will not be available after January 31, 2008. This decision was made by Rosetta Stone, not the Finger Lakes Library System. Rosetta Stone Ltd. will no longer offer public libraries remote access for patrons. We regret the loss of this very popular learning tool and the inconvenience this will cause our patrons. FLLS is currently investigating online learning alternatives and hopes to be able to offer another online language learning tool early next year.
