Google Docs

I can see many uses for Google Docs, one being the ability to collaborate with other staff on a document, presentation etc. without the need to attach emails etc. At first I thought this is what we are using wikis for, but, of course, Wikis don't have all the Office capabilities of Google Docs. Also in some instances, just a couple of the group may be working on something, and it is too new to share with everyone.

The other purpose I am thinking of is training library members in the use of various library services. If a presentation has been given in the library put it on the web and then let others know about it.

And, of course, the person who can't attend the meeting, type the minutes straight in and they can receive them immediately.
