Useful tools for those who work in the learning and teaching environment not just librarians and information professionals. I was first introduced to Google docs as part of in house training. I saw its usefulness immediately and decided to use it wherever documents needed input from the library team. For example, I collaborated with the team on writing and updating documents concerned with policies and procedures that needed to be included in the staff manual. It saved us the hassle of sending documents backwards and forwards and allowed us to do the job effectively and efficiently. I would love to use it more and more.
I explored dropbox for the first time via 23 cpd. It’s the kind of tool that will probably make my life easier and saves the worry of having to make sure that I have the document I need before I set off from my desk. I have opened an account and I have now started to load my documents. It will definitely become part of my daily working life and I would recommend it for my team.
I would prefer to explore them a bit more. I have a feeling that I might not need to use them at work as we store all documents that are related to the library in a folder designated for library use only on the school Intranet. That way the library team is able to have access and everyone can comment and update.
