Google Docs



I was amazed to discover this tool, it opens up so may possibilities. I looked at both Zoho and Google Docs and decided that Google Docs was more user-friendly and easier to visualize the end result.

Google Docs could be used for collaborative works between members of our library Co-op. These libraries do not share an electronic network. Google Docs could also be useful for libraries with branches. It could also be used for compiling lists for deletion of the collection as well as working up agendas for meetings.
The general public would also find this tool very useful, we just need to tell them about it!

At a later date I am going to investigate converting a file, but not today. Shelving awaits!!

Ah, sadly Google Docs cannot help with shelving, but you're right there are many applications for us in the library world!
