Dave, I only know what I just now read by following your link below, but it looks pretty interesting. Would love for you to share your findings after you attend the meeting.
Thinking about implementing Office 365 for staff here at FPL (looks beneficial), wondering how we would deal with patron computers. Right now, we license all our Microsoft through the Academic Volume Licensing program and pay an annual subscription. We put the same version of everything on both staff and public computers. The features of Office 365 don’t seem to be needed and might be an impairment on a shared public computer…I’d be interested in whether the people pushing 365 have thought about that issue for libraries/schools.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Office 365
Is anyone using Microsoft Office 365 for Non-Profits? We have been approached by a patron who is a PMP with Microsoft and is promoting it as a way to reduce our tech costs. Here's a link to an article from Techsoup on Office 365 for Non-Profits:
I'm curious as to what others know about this. I plan to attend an event this Friday morning and thought I'd gather ideas and/or questions from this group to take with me, so please share!
Thanks,
Dave
