Kcdlonline Customer Feedback
“KCDLonline is wonderful! Having managed a curriculum materials center
for many years, I know how hard it has been to provide access to a wide
variety of curriculum publications. KCDLonline makes this access a breeze
as it is constantly adding full text availability to new publications from many
different sources. Its search engine allows easy combination searching for
such areas as grade, subject, type, date, and location. This product fills a real
need.”
--Gary Lare, Ph.D., Head, Curriculum Resources Center, University of Cincinnati, and author of
Acquiring and Organizing Curriculum Materials
“Through the use of KCDL Online, educators can now easily find exactly
what they need without spending endless hours of tedious searching. By
making the process of curriculum development and classroom teaching even
more educational and productive for educators everywhere, KCDL Online
