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.

Its search engine allows easy combination searching for such areas as grade, subject, type, date, and location. This product fills a real need.”
