Welcome to the March 2024 issue of our e-books for FE newsletter. Notable this month is that we have a T Level title in the top 20 usage table for February, and this was a new purchase in September last year – it is good to see requested titles fulfilling their usage potential, and we hope to secure some similarly popular titles in the purchasing round this year.
