[Libs-Or] Libs-Or Digest, Vol 207, Issue 3

Mon May 4 15:38:12 PDT 2020

Doug,

This needs to be language-specific. Someone learning English from Arabic
will have different needs than someone coming from Spanish. Lectorum has
some recommendations. Could you let me know which languages you are
addressing?

Take care and stay safe.

Sincerely yours,

Peyton Stafford | Voice +1 503.720.7149 | www.peytonstafford.com |  Order
my forthcoming book from ALA Editions: No Shelf Required 3: The New Era for
