Dear CCH Learning Center Subscriber,
Welcome to the October issue of Focus on Learning, the monthly newsletter for the CCH Learning Center that provides insights on how to use the Learning Center to your full advantage and updates on new courses and features available to you. In each issue we highlight a course (or series of courses) on a timely topic, and let you know about new courses released in the Learning Center. We also inform you of new useful features, provide helpful tips on existing features, and help you use the CCH Learning Center to meet your professional development and CPE needs.
New Learning Center Courses
CCH is committed to keeping you up-to-date and knowledgeable on the latest issues that impact your firm or corporation. Several new or revised courses have been released to the Learning Center over the past two months. See the new or updated titles released to the Learning Center here.

Our new site will provide easy access to all of CCH's CPE options - online, print, audio CD and audio Seminars. We will also offer subscriptions to additional Learning Center libraries covering specialized topics. The new site is scheduled for release in mid-November.
Learning Center Specialty Libraries! Several Learning Center libraries focusing on specialized topics will be released for separate sale over the next year. The Accounting and Audits and the Sales and Use Taxation will be the first two Specialty Libraries released. Courses in the libraries will range from basic to advanced.
