Open Source & Open Office #16 Completed

I had not used Open Office before although I was aware of it and other open source software. It seems very MS Word savvy; the only thing I found different was that I couldn't insert photos from a clip art source like MS Word.

As for what I think of how the use and/or promotion of open source software aligns with core tenets of the library profession-it seems directly related as it is available to EVERYONE (with computer access) WITHOUT CHARGE. It is free access--One of the best things (and great "selling points") about the library!
