Before we switched to LibreOffice we used to buy educational licenses of Microsoft products. Libraries qualify for the educational discounts, even for staff computers. I do not know how the discounts compare to government licenses.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m needing to purchase a number of MS Office suites for library staff computers. I thought I remembered that there were discount options for these purchases. I doubled checked on TechSoup and they only provide MS Office for
<i>public use computers</i>, not for staff computers. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Am I just not remembering correctly and the city IT guys with their government MS Office deal is the best, or can libraries get a better deal?
