[nabs-l] more on Learning Ally

[Justin Young]

I honestly don't know why they changed the old way it use to work.
This was much more user friendly.  I have tried to download books from
them and I have faced the similar situations that those who have tired
to do the same.  I did contact customer services and the reply was
with a user manual to the manager.  I didn't realize that it was
inaccessible at the time I just wanted information on how to use it.
I missed the message about the Ask the President.  Thanks for passing
along those emails as well I didn't know them.

As Beth says something must be done soon.
