BYKI Online Library Edition
The Ruby Sisson Library, in partnership with Transparent Language (Nashua, NH) and Recorded Books (Prince Frederick, MD), is pleased to announce the introduction of Byki® Online Library Edition, a powerful new online language-learning system designed specifically for use by the patrons of public libraries.
Byki, short for “Before You Know It,” is a rapid learning system employing spaced interval repetition. The Byki learning method takes users through a series of simple steps to memorize words and phrases in a new language, including their meanings and proper pronunciation, in the shortest possible time.
Available for learning over 70 languages, library patrons are able to access the Byki Online system from inside or outside of the library, via the web browser on Windows and Mac computers.
Byki is pronounced bye-key.
Use your library barcode and PIN to access BYKI through the library website. After you have been authenticated as a Ruby Sisson patron, you can create a BYKI specific username and password (click the green "Sign Up Now" box).

After establishing an account, BYKI users can access BYKI directly through this link: http://www.library.transparent.com/rubysisson_co/flashcards/
