On a main aisle leading from the exhibit hall entrance stairway, another booth presented the story of DAVI services — publications, proceedings, and EdScreen, the official magazine. Special emphasis was given the new DAVI School Service Plan, which provides a variety of publications and services for schools enrolling in the plan.
