This just in from the January MIT newsletter:
TechSoup Stock: Product Spotlight'Tis the season for saving money and TechSoup can help stretch your technology budget!
TechSoup distributes donated and deeply discounted software and technology products to eligible public libraries and nonprofit organizations. Your library can save 80 – 96% on brand-new software donated by top companies. All products are available either for a small administrative fee if donated, or at prices that are deeply discounted. Some programs are available to all public libraries, and others require the library to also have a 501(c)(3) status.
We'll spotlight some of these products every month so you can get familiar with what is available. We crunched the numbers to determine which products are most frequently purchased from libraries.
