In addition, special assistance is available to individuals and committees involved in the MMSD's Evaluation of Learning Materials (ELM) process, as well as other staff involved in the selection and evaluation of learning materials. These services may include assistance in identifying appropriate materials, recommending materials from publishers or the IMSC's collection, contacting publishers or their sales representatives, arranging workshops and displays, providing ordering information, or sharing information about other similar district adoption activities.
Requests for any of these services should be addressed to Ron Goral rgoral@madison.k12.wi.us, MSCEL's Materials Selection Librarian. Preview requests by MMSD staff should be directed to the attention of Jan Opelt at the IMSC via mail, e-mail jopelt@madison.k12.wi.us or fax (204-0350).
The PREVIEW LIST is a compilation of recently requested preview videos, computer software, dvds, kits, cd-roms, books, and other staff and student learning resources. Copies are sent to all MMSD LMC/AV staff and other interested individuals approximately every 8-weeks.
