Week 11: Google Docs

Just when you think there can’t be any more amazing finds, you come across Google Docs. I can see so many applications for this streamlined facility.

Manilla Library is increasing numbers and services. For example, with the new Manilla Book Lovers Club we have a staggering 15 members; at the last meeting it was suggested that review be organised and published. Imagine, how easy it will be to have one document and share it with the Book Lovers members. When it comes time to printing, I’ll know that the most update copy is available and everyone who wanted to comment will have!

The scope of applications is not just limited to borrowers. Currently I use my flash drive to alternate between two computers at the library which are unfortunately located at opposite ends of the office. Now, instead of flash drive in and flash drive out, it will be as simple process of accessing it online … that’s less time consuming.

Who knows where this will end!
