[CASL-L] Question on NEWSELA

[Loretta Sullivan]

Hello Joy,

I was told that this would have to be purchased by individual departments
and that the library does not purchase this for the school (we had some
teachers interested in purchasing this). I have heard that the price is
quite steep and is not feasible for schools with limited budgets.

Respectfully,

Loretta Sullivan
