No Excuses Allowed - Google Calendar

Google Calendar looks like a really useful tool. I liked how easy it was to set up the calendar and adjust the settings. I thought the color coding options were great so a quick glance at the day would give an overview of the kinds of events or activities noted. I also really liked the option to be able to combine calendars or only show one at a time to allow someone to focus on a particular set of events.I currently use Yahoo calendar but am thinking I'll explore whether I can use Google instead as I've encountered syncing problems with my phone and Yahoo recently. Google Calendar seems pretty user-friendly so could definitely be useful in the library.I was wondering whether there could be/is already a Google calendar available for staff mirroring the central calendar upstairs at Campus.If a digital version existed staff could check events, plan for time off,conferences etc., when out of the branch and not have to wait until they were next scheduled to work to check these details for conflicts.

Google Docs

I'm a bit out of sequence with the modules because I seem to have mislaid my delicious login, so I will have to come back to that one. Google Docs was pretty straight forward. It was easy enough to navigate to add the slide to the presentation and add in images.It could really be helpful for the program coordinators from the branches to collaborate on events.There could also be the possibility of using Google Docs to save resources for the library. If attendees of book groups agreed, the program leader could make any handouts available via Google Docs with the option that the person could choose to print them out if they so wished.The librarian wouldn't have to photocopy numerous handouts, especially as she can never be sure of the number of people who will attend.
