[CASL-L] Anyone using EasyBib these days -- with the EDU coupon code?

[Tracy Earnshaw]

I have trained my whole school on EasyBib and both teachers and students
love it.  We received our new coupon code and all students are Pro members
for free this year.  I found that when I taught other citation generators
instead, many students would use the free EasyBib instead because they
liked it better.  I am continuing to use EasyBib.
