Also, for articles containing audio or video clips, readers should have the Free RealOne Player (not the trial) installed on their computers (go to http://www.real.com/realone/). The computers must be able to play sound files. Within some articles are links to pages not on ISTE's server. Please be aware that ISTE has no control over those sites and those materials may not always be available. If you notice repeated instances of a Web page being unavailable, please contact Tuiren Bratina at tbratina@unf.edu.
