Google Docs & iGoogle

I have started using Google docs for the Library's Infoservices review - the group is still finding our way though we can see benefits of all adding content toshared document(s) and storing them in one place. Though I am keeping the notes from meetings on common drive too. One proble with Google Docs is not being able to create a folder to share...a little pop up told me that this is coming.

Sue then showed us iGoogle and it is fun!I've wanted an iGoogle page for ages but never got around to spending the 30 secs it takes to set one up! I've added I've added the Library's gadget (two clicks!); also a range of other gadgets including LibraryThing with book covers (very pretty). I think I will use my iGoogle page - like all these applications you can create something quite appealing with the templates and themes provided.
