Online applications and tools such as Google docs and Zoho have the potential to expand the capability of staff and online users to manipulate documents and make them more accessible by a wider audience. As a current website developer I have had access to additional software that has allowed me to convert documents for more universal access across the web. With Zoho, more staff will now have this same capability without the necessary software being made available to them by their organisation.
Google docs has potential unlimited use, but will improve communication, feedback, interaction with, and contributions from a much wider audience, especially regional library and community users, in the discussion, development, and creation of many documents requiring wider input.
For meetings where not all participants can attend, this is one means of ensuring their input is included. Where contributions are sought from colleagues with similar interests or job responsibilities, input can be requested without everyone needing to meet and discuss. These are only a few of the potential uses.
