I responded with information about IALLT and its resources, mentioning Jack Burston's volume on Digital Language Lab solutions, but I added that if she was under time pressures that didn't allow her to wait for the acquisition of that volume I'd be happy to post her inquiry to this list -- which she then asked me to do (see below). Please, if you can help her, write to her directly, not to me or to LLTI, of which she is not [yet] a reader. It's nice to think that we too can provide some very specific help in our field, in addition to making financial contributions to disaster relief.
