Are you always misplacing your USB drive? Looking for an easy way to collaborate on documents for group work? Google Docs is a convenient way to store and edit presentations, documents and spreadsheets.\u00a0 Because items are created completely online, they can be accessed and edited from any computer or workstation with an internet connection. You can then download these documents as common file formats such as Word. Another interesting feature is that more than one person can edit a document at the same time and view the changes being made in real time.<\/p>\n
This is especially handy considering the amount of lost flash drives and USB devices that are turned into the Circulation desk each semester. \u00a0It is also convenient as files saved to My Documents on any campus workstation are deleted after 48 hrs.<\/p>\n
