Thing #18 - Web Apps

Google Docs is set up with tools that are very similar to Microsoft Word, which made using it feel like a familiar task. The possibilities for what or how this could be used are again endless, but an example I came up with was about the upcoming onslaught of summer reading suggestions. Whether it is a child looking for a title as part of the summer program at the library or if he or she is needing something for school, having a detailed list of titles would be useful. Not only would it be good to have titles, but people throughout the branches could add information or descriptions about the books. This way, we could take the child's interests and try to match him/her up with something that would really hold his/her attention. Just one of the many ideas out there that might address something we will be dealing with during the next several months.
