Gdrive - bumps in the road
So hit the first speedbump already... our hardware and software at work is behind the times, so lots of features are unsupported and are likely to not work properly and of course, due to restrictions, I can't install Google drive. I'll have to try that one from home...
Thing 3 - The Wiki-verse and more...
So, luckily, I've used wiki's before. Via uni and via the East Midlands Library Trainers Forum - now merged with the West Midlands group.
I'm familiar with Meet-o-Matic - we use that here for meeting scheduling, but I've not used Google Drive to share documents etc., so I guess I'll have to dip my toe in that water now...
Google Docs/Drive sounds interesting - I've not used any cloud computing and it sounds very helpful for people who are collaborating, but on different sites. I support clinical teams who work across multiple sites, so I can see how this sort of thing could be really beneficial for them, as well as for library staff covering split sites. Of course, as long as security is maintained - it could be really handy.
