I didn't know there were 'free' places like Google Docs and Zoho! 'Free' is always good, and then to think of the bonus of material being saved... just in case of a computer crash! Something I'm sorry to say I've experienced! I loved the ease of Google (I like everything about google!), but I do have to say I found the wide range of Zoho's offerings intriguing. When I was looking for 'help' with my KCLS resume and cover letter (was that over a year ago?), I turned to a microsoft template, now I see that Zoho offers something similar.
"Productivity software" sure has to be a tremendous plus for any traveling business person, or even someone just working from home. The ability to meet in cyberspace certainly has changed the way one is able to do business.
In our Library setting, I'm more convinced than ever that basic computer classes are a must! (... not to mention more available computers) Not only is it important that the community be educated on 'how to use the computer', but the patron must first be shown what's available and how it might help them in their lives. At present, many of our computer classes are taught by volunteers. To really reach the whole community culture as Library 2.0 moves forward, I would hope to see more Patron training/teaching being handled by staff.
