Google Apps
by Brenda Rodammer 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

Many of you use Google Apps at your library. My question is this. Do you just use the Apps account through a personal email or have you purchased the suite for your library staff? Also, did you receive a discount from Google? I spoke with a reseller yesterday and he indicated that we could use Apps from a personal account legally but we may be eligible for the suite through Google. When I look on the Google site however, it just shows 501c(3) schools and universities as qualifying. The rest of us would be $5 per month or $50 per year per user. Any information would be appreciated. [cid:image002.jpg@01CFDEE3.221AADF0]
