Who knew there were so many free online productivity tools and applications- I certainly DID NOT.
I had a quick look at GoogleDocs and Zoho. It looked like Zoho had a lot more applications than GoogleDocs, however when I looked at the forum on Zoho it seemed that there were quite a few problems. As I only had a brief look I will have to explore this site further in order to evaluate it properly.
I am sure that Zamzar would be very useful but I haven't had a use for it yet- I'm sure I will use it in the future at some stage. It seems to be easy to use- four steps only.
When I first looked at Slideshare, I really wasn't that impressed, however on taking a second look I found some really interesting slide shows. I searched under 'storytime' and this brought up 41 presentations, a lot of them were virtual tours of different libraries which were quite good and there were quite a few I must go back to look at later eg ' Digital games in lbraries and Information Services...', 'Growing your next Generation of Patrons...', and 'Ready to read'.
Here is one I really liked...
These slide show presentations could be used for marketing the library and the events being held in the library.
There were so many 'Fab Freebies' - it will take me weeks to have a look at them all. It could be very useful to know about all these sites as you never really know what we might be asked for in the library...especially with so many students using the computers.
Thumbstacks is still being built and as I use Safari I was unable to see the presentation.
