4. What do you need? TRAC barcode (library membership) and pin number to open Mango from the TRACpac website. You can then create a personal account in Mango so you can take language courses on multiple visits. The software is Flash based so most Marigold library computers will not need extra software installed to make it work. Flash is free from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ if library patrons need it for their home computers.http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ May want to purchase microphone headsets for privacy and convenience.
