Thing 13: Google Docs, Wikis and Dropbox

Google docs and Dropbox are very useful tools:

Google docs is great for creating spreadsheets and documents even if you don't have the MS Office software and are accessible everywhere on the web.

Dropbox just keeps all items online like Google docs, but is a simpler conceptually and great for working on projects off multiple pcs and locations, avoiding all the problem of version control.

wikis

I found pbworks good to host issues relating to e-resources for a regional special interest group. Indeed these are great tools, but it is only by use that they build up valuable content.

As such wikis can be used for knowledge management, can be searched quite efficiently, and of course have all the advantages of being online, access-controlled, and with a relatively simple user interface for editing.
