Google Docs

So yet another interesting find. I encounter so many patrons who have the desire to save documents but fail to bring a disc or flash drive.  Usually, I teach them to save it temporarily on the X-drive, and then email it to themselves (or even create an email account if they don’t have one).  This is much more efficient and quite easy.  Of course, the problem usually comes in when the patron decides to wait until either the last few minutes of their time on the computer, or when the library is close to closing, and we’re rushing this saving process.

A possible problem that could come up with this option is if Google decides to be down when a patron opts to save on their docs.  But then again, that’s a risk a non-flash drive/disc bring-er will have to take.
Otherwise, interesting find.  Never knew about it.  So thanks again!  I feel so much more educated :D
