Thing 13: Document Sharing

Beethoven rocks!

Document sharing would be great for collaboration among library staff or between students. I could see using Google Docs as a wiki; the sharing options make it possible to keep the guest list short or open it to the world. A Library Training Manual would be semi-public for library staff. The library could create a public document on circulation policies (so exciting.) Or create custom guides for students and subjects!



For students, Google Docs would work for group projects; often our nursing students collaborate on PowerPoint presentations. This would prevent the inevitable "I have a different version" and "send me the file!" problems that arise. Students could work on one platform and with one tool.
