Google Docs...



Had a look at Google Docs a couple of years ago. Found one of my old files on there when I logged in. Really like the idea, but haven't needed to use it. I guess it would be very handy to use between the liaison librarians, and it would be terrific for group work if you are a student. Particularly good for people who can't afford word processing software etc.



iGoogle...



I created my iGoogle page back in 2006 also and still love it. So much fun and very useful. Some of the gadgets that are available now are awesome. I really like having the "current top news stories" on my homepage - good to know what is happening outside the library. I have also added the currency converter, Gmail, calendar, weather, facebook, stickynote, & tree frog widgets for a bit of fun. The background colours/fonts/designs that you can choose make it more appealing. I have been using the Akira Isogawa artist theme for sometime now.



I really like the idea of moving around the gadgets so that you can change the look of your homepage as often as you like.



I could rave for hours on the wonders of iGoogle...haven't you noticed!
