So, I hope you can see my Google Docs document above.
It was super easy to create, even adding images and publishing it to the blog.
Well, before I got to Thing #18, I was actually ahead of myself on this one because Sarah set up a collaborative project for us at Cashiers and we are using Google Docs. We are using it in our analysis of the On-order Report, in conjunction with the new Demand Management procedures. So, I can see already how this will be useful to libraries and even my own job. Besides, I love the green aspect of it. No printing out the 20 or 40 page document and carrying it back and forth only to have to recycle it in a week or so.
This was the first time I used Google Docs, and it was so very easy--no trouble. It was easy to add collaborators and easy to find, open, and edit documents, too.
I can see using this quite a bit for collaborative work. I may use it for portability of certain documents, especially as I re-enter graduate school in the fall, but I will have to really check out the editing options in depth to make sure I have access to all I need. Either way, I think this is a very handy tool that will definitely benefit libraries.
