Although you do need a Web browser, you do not need a connection to the Internet to view the contents of the CD. Unless specified otherwise, all links in this interface connect to files on the CD itself, not to files on the Internet.

Printing

The HTML documents on this CD are provided as an on-screen alternative to the original format of The Guide to Special Education in Maine. They are not intended for print, however. If you wish to print this material, please use the PDF documents included in the files/pdf folder.
