This technology will definately come in handy for patrons using our public computers. Google Docs seems easy to use and the fomat looks similar to products like email which most computer users will be familiar with. I was able to sign in using my gmail account, which alot of people will have already which makes it even easier. Patrons with internet access at home will be able to save there work from home to the library and back without worrying if it will be compatable or if their usb, etc will work in our computer. Patrons can also save their documents and come back and work on them later, whereas if they are just saved on the public computers they will be deleted at the end of the day. Zoho docs seems to have the same kind of features but I will probably use google docs more as it seems easier.Being able to give others access to work on the document would also be handy when working on joint projects. Zamzar will also be very handy as we often have people come in to print out documents which are not compatable with our computers so to have free software to convert these documents would be great!
