I am trying to get our staff to take part in a "Reader's Advisory" blog. They are going to be "encouraged" to post book reviews of their fav's. Yahoo! I have not thought about Google Docs for staff before though, great idea, thanks again. Once again, your blog is so very helpful for what I am trying to accomplish.

We have 2 monthly meetings with supervisors from around our district, and I'm taking about 15 minutes at each meeting to introduce them to a new website/technology thingie. We're facing a fair number of branch supervisors who aren't able to find the time to check all these things out, so I'm trying to help and make sure they at least know what these things are that our patrons are using (and asking questions about too). So far, so good!
