DLC Newsletter: May 2009

Important changes at the DLC

As a result of the recently-passed Senate Bill 5410, the Digital Learning Commons will be changing. We’re still finalizing many of the details, including information about how your school will be able to access DLC resources and services during the 2009-2010 school year. We’re expecting to make a detailed announcement within the next two weeks. In the meantime, we’re working hard to finalize everything so that you can do your planning for next school year.

Thanks for your patience. If you have any questions, our support team is available by phone at 800.890.8592 or email us:dlcinfo@learningcommons.org
