NY 3Rs: Quick and Easy Open Source Software

Open source software is getting more and more press . . . and for good reason. But, unless you're "in the know," you may not know where to start. Start Here! ;-)
We'll talk about what open source software is and isn't and, in a practical way, discuss specific software you could download, install, and use within minutes!
This series, Tech Topics, is primarily lecture-based and introduces library staff to technologies that may impact libraries and library services.

Learning Objectives

• Define open source software
• Discuss 2 reasons to use and 2 reasons not to use open source software
• Choose one software to install and use

This webinar is designed for individual participation; each individual must register.
