Week 11
Online applications and tools - yes, could be very useful when collaborating. Wouldn't want to be working with sensitive material though - despite promises of "secure" etc, there are always hackers around. Fortunately most library work is not really of a sensitive nature.
I don't think I would have much use for this in my area of work, but it is good to be aware of the possibility.
I would imagine that our children's librarian could make good use of this when planning combined activities (flyers and media promotion etc).
The file conversion site Zamzar had me excited on behalf of our library clients who sometimes need to change the format of their word processing and picture files. I'm not sure how the time delay would affect them, though, they are usually after instant answers!
