[ISLMA-Share] Hosting Destiny

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Brian-

Nice. Good to know.  This is something that we've (IETL and the LTCs) been
trying to encourage schools to give attention to for several years now,
partially as a result of schools turning more and more to cloud services.

You'd think that data security would be an obvious concern, but not for
all. For example, there's a student management suite in some of our schools
that, by default, is not encrypted.
