[OPLINTECH] Experiences with TechSoup

[Mike Hensel]

We use Tech Soup for software especially for Microsoft products. You can get
Office and any OS including Windows 7 for around $9 to $20 bucks a license.
It is insanely cheap.  It's also a great place to get QuickBooks and
Symantec products.   Occasionally they will also offer Adobe products to
libraries which allows our PR department to get the latest version at
astounding prices.  In my book, every library should be getting their stuff
from this place.  It saves a bundle. 

 

As a public library, you do not need to have a 501 C (3) status to use Tech
Soup.  You use your FSCS ID instead.

Can anyone out there who has used it give me your experiences purchasing
software with TechSoup for libraries? It appears that any library that is a
501C(3) can use  the services after properly applying.
