CD purchases

[George Pilling <georgep@TCOE.K12.CA.US>]

To Chris Giunta et al.

We use The Reading and Computing Place, Inc.  1-800-888-0553 whenever
possible.  They have several catalogs, including an ESL one with many
sources in Spanish and in French for the Northern people.  They are a women
owned small/minority business.

Everything we buy must be evaluated.  We use the California Instructional
Materials Clearinghouse tic.stan-co.k12.ca.us for evaluations of CDs, laser
disks, and videos, but they ara about a year behind on CDs.  If we buy from
reviews, we have to have a teacher review the item before it is added to our
collection.

Does anyone have any other sources of evaluations of software?
