Dear Colleagues, I still have not heard from EBSCO regarding Rosetta Stone, but thanks to Kassundra Miller, Director of the Hillside Public Library, we may have a solution to the error messages people are getting when they try to access Rosetta Stone training modules.  After accessing Rosetta Stone from JerseyClicks or the URL from our Statewide Database URLs webpage (http://www.njstatelib.org/services_for_libraries/statewide_services/urls/) it asks you for your Username (email address), Password and Langua ...Continue Reading
