[Lauren's 23 Things] I’ve found Wikis can be very useful if everyone who’s using them knows what the aim is. At one of the places I used to work, there was a staff wiki that people used as a reference point for useful information –

But perhaps I should look into a Dropbox account for myself and deposit things like my CV there because I’ve got a variety of versions all over the place and I’m often called upon providing a copy of it for grant applications, and it always takes me a bit to figure out which version to hand off.

Having said that, it’s always a good idea to back-up your files in as many different places as possible in order to prevent losing them, and Google Docs/Dropbox could provide another way of doing this.

[Bethany Grabow- Enthusiastic Librarian] Thing #13: Google Docs, Wikis, and Dropbox « Bethany Grabow ...: My library branch is a heavy user of Google Docs.  All of our weekly and daily schedules, among other things, are shared there.  This is helpful because I can check my schedule from anywhere that has Internet access and changes appear immediately.  This also means supervisors can make changes to the schedule from home.  Schedules are color coded to signify the supervisor on duty, closers, meetings, and schedule abnormalities.  The only downfall to this system is if the Internet is down, we can’t access our schedules.  I think using Google Docs for scheduling is a brilliant idea. 

[Three Good Rats] Three Good Rats: Thing 13: Google Docs, Dropbox, and Wikis: It sounds basically the same as Google Docs except that you have to download and install something and I don't want to do that or sign up for anything else right now. Again, I'm sure it has its uses if you need to work collaboratively.

[Laura's Dark Archive] Google Docs, Wikis and Dropbox « Laura's Dark Archive: I see Google Docs as a more collaborative platform, whereas Dropbox acts more like a repository where you can keep files to access from elsewhere or allow others to access.  In Dropbox, you have to download a file, edit it and upload it again, so it’s not so good for collaboration.

I have used Google Docs, most recently for the PCC Commissioning Zone Ask an Expert Pilot. It is useful to be able to collaborate on documents when we are different networks.

[Thatblackbook.wordpress.com] 23 Things: Thing 13 – Google Docs, Dropbox, and wikis «: If Google Docs had been around at the time, my life (and that of everyone else who tried to send me things) would have been much easier. I like the commenting and editing features, I like that several people can edit a document at the same time.

[Ssshhhhh] Thing 13: Google Docs, Wikis and Dropbox « Ssshhhhh: On second thoughts, of course, the success of this still rests on remembering to put everything into Dropbox in the first place, and then having the right software on whatever computer you’re working on. Still – I think it’s well worth trying, and it will definitely be something that I will show my research students in order to help them organise their work from different locations.

[laurenwallis] Things 12 and 13 « laurenwallis: blogs, and I exchanged comments with several library students and new librarians from all over the place.  It was really fun, but I didn’t keep it up like I should have.  I guess in my experience, establishing social network connections with people I don’t know in real life is a lot of work.  First of all you have to find them, make sure you have similar interests, initiate contact without creeping them out, and then work to stay connected.  Cpd 23 is a good environment in which to build online professional networks since the program encourages us to write frequently and we’re all discussing the same topics, but I still haven’t been good at keeping up with it.  It’s going on the Google Calendar.  Right now.  It’s the beginning of a new school year and I currently have excellent intentions.

Since I've started using it for myself though it's been for storage rather than collaboration.
