The NCSU Libraries and the Office of Information Technology are pleased to offer the online version of the popular language learning tool Rosetta Stone.
To access Rosetta Stone, you will need to request the use of an individual license by following the link below:
http://www.ncsu.edu/software/agreements/rosettastone/index.php
Licenses are available on a first come, first served basis for a 60-day access period. The first 100 licenses have already been assigned to individuals, but they are taking a waiting list for access. Once you register, you will need to select a particular language of interest as you can only study one language at a time.
Users should notify Software Licensing Management if they finish before the expiration of their 60-day access period. This will allow the license to be released back into the central pool and be given to someone on the waiting list.
The Veterinary Medicine Library still provides CD-ROM access to several languages on computers in the library. The NCSU Libraries catalog listing of Rosetta Stone CDs is http://www2.lib.ncsu.edu/catalog/?view=full&Ntt=rosetta+stone&Ntk=Title&N=206434
We hope you will find this resource useful. Please let us know at libraryvetmed@ncsu.edu if you have any problems or questions. We would appreciate feedback on the process and resource as this is a pilot for 2010.

Hannah holding Remy, a Welsh terrier.
When Hannah Hope joined the Veterinary Medicine Library (VML) in August of 2009, she found the perfect place for an animal lover—and we found the perfect student employee. First, there was the incredible enthusiasm to gain knowledge about how the NCSU Libraries works and how she could assist learners with library resources on medicine and animal care. Then there was the long history of devoting as much time as possible to animals. Hannah works at an animal shelter in her hometown of Greensboro, NC, where she helps dogs, especially those who have been abused, to achieve positive behaviors through training. That’s on top of making ample time for her own two pets: Pumpkin, a mini Holland Lop rabbit, and an aquatic frog named Bert.
In her first semester at VML, Hannah learned the basics of “how to do things in the library and be creative in finding library resources and information for patrons.” She takes her diverse work duties seriously as she gains experience. A junior double majoring in psychology and anthropology, Hannah is also working on a minor in French, a skill that is often useful with the international health resources at VML. She plans to enter NC State’s Public History graduate program and to become an archivist. We are fortunate to work with Hannah and share in opportunities that present experiences for her professional plans. She sums it up by saying “I love working here.”
Hannah has chosen the right fit and surrounded herself with clinicians, researchers and fellow animal-loving students, as well as the latest scholarly materials. Coming to work each day she passes through the halls of the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) Veterinary Teaching Hospital. And when the Randall B. Terry, Jr. Companion Animal Veterinary Medical Center opens in January of 2011, she will be able to look out from the VML onto the national model for excellence in companion animal medicine. As Hannah says “I will be near the cutting edge for animal care.”
When not at the VML or her classes, Hannah supports the Carolina Hurricanes hockey team as a dedicated season ticket-holding fan. She is also a world traveler, having been to Italy, Monaco, Belgium, France and now Germany as part of her family vacation in December. Hannah plans to continue working at the Veterinary Medicine Library for several more years—that’s our hope too!
