Google Docs is really useful and handy website which allows us to create documents, or projects for individuals or groups. Its features allow several members of a group to work on the same document so that they can finish their work quickly and efficiently without meeting each other. We can update information or edit data and republish. It is a real time saver.

In the library, we can work on projects, plans, agendas for meetings and staff can add to the document. It also allows staff who may have missed the meetings to have a say on the topics discussed.

I think we can introduce Google Docs and zoho.com services to our patrons so they can work on their documents and save directly online making things easier and preventing problems such as discs getting stuck in the computer's drive, loss of discs or USB sticks.
