Target: NYS LMS's--corrected link to NOVEL survey

[Sara Kelly Johns <johns@ALDUS.NORTHNET.ORG>]

My thanks to Judy Shaunessay of Mineola who pointed out to me that the first
link to the NOVEL user survey was typed incorrectly. My typos keep Sister
Inez, my typing teacher, rolling over regularly in her grave. My apologiesto
all; please do use the NOVEL survey link at <http://www.nysl.nysed.gov> to
respond to the user survey before October 1. It's important to have as many
school library responses as possible.

Thanks, Sara Kelly Johns
