week 13: online applications and tools


In your blog, consider the possible applications for Google Docs in your work.
I discussed Google Docs with my colleagues. I have recently set up an iTunes account, and they advertise Mobilme, a cybercloud which enables subscribers to keep all electronic data in the cloud - not on a usb/laptop/hard drive. I had thought - there must be a way around this, I am not willing to pay a subscription for this service. And voila - googledocs. Of course, all of my colleagues had heard of it, and often recommend it t our clients as an alternative method of saving information. I explained it to Dad, who is planning to go to France, and maybe do some distance education. This will be perfect for him.


The collaboration aspect of this application would make it invaluable for a project requiring the contribution of multiple individuals. As already stated, this is a great tool for clients, as a method of saving information which they are then able to retrieve at a location outside the library.
