VA Briefing 123 – Free and low-cost IT tools

The proliferation of the web has resulted in a huge number of free and low-cost alternatives becoming available. This briefing looks at some alternatives to standard software, and some other tools that you might find useful.

The final section of the briefing describes ‘open source’, the process by which many of these free and low-cost IT tools are produced, and suggests some ways in which the open source ethos can be applied to your other activities.
