I have used yolink myself and really like the way that it organizes information. I didn't end up being able to use it in the classroom since it was a download :(

I had the IT dept put it on the image for the new computers in the lab at school. If you contact yolink they can help you with whatever you need. Now, all you have to do is talk your IT into doing it.

Good Luck!
