Google Docs

I've used Google Docs before, usually as a backup for my Word files, and an easy way to access assignments at school. It's great for immediate collaboration and easy access. Normally I use my USB thumb drive to transfer documents between computers, but some computers don't like the drive or try to install programs when I insert it. Some computers don't have the programs I need.

This application is especially useful for library patrons who don't have computers or internet connection at home. They can work on their documents at any of our libraries without carrying around a disk or thumb drive. They won't have to worry about our firewalls and we won't have to worry about the potential viruses coming from their home computers.
